Connection string for Connect IN-DB tool

Tessa_Gable

Our Server administrator does not want us to set up aliased connections in Server, therefore we generally set it up directly in the input and output tools.  This string works in the regular Alteryx input tool but not working for the Connect In-DB tool?  

odbc:DRIVER={SQL Server};DATABASE={Database};SERVER={Server};Trusted_Connection=yes.  Can the following string be used in the In-DB Connection tool or does it need to be set up in the Manage In-DB Connection menu?  As always...Thank you.
