Input Tool - Data connections options - Favorites Area

I use a lot of the same input files for the processes I do. It would be a huge time-saver if you could include option/area in Input tool where user, after bringing up the Data connections window, could have a "Favorites" section on the Recent page that would show at the top & allow the user to select specific files to show there.

 

Another maybe easier option could also be that when a file is selected, it gets moved back to the top of the Recent list. Currently, no matter how many times a file is used, it will move down the listing on Recent regardless if you just opened it or not, so even though I'm using the file on a daily basis, it will disappear as soon as I open 8 other files.

 

Thanks!

Might be worth creating a "Pinned Connections" area under the recent connections where the user can decide which ones they want to keep.

Enhancing the "Saved" connections to allow for more than just database connections would be great.

Or creating a whole new category for Save Files.  I'm not picky 🙂
