How to add new connections and data source accounts to Looker Studio

Prev Next

Follow these steps to add new connections or data source accounts to the Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) reports you create with Supermetrics.

Note that you can also add new connections to data sources on the Supermetrics Hub. There can sometimes be a short delay between you making changes on the Hub and them appearing in the data destination — if you've made changes and they don't appear, wait a short while and refresh the page.

Instructions

Add new connections

  1. Click the Edit icon next to your data source (or click Resource → Managed added data sources and click Edit there).

  2. Click Edit connection

  3. In the data source settings, click the link after View & manage your connections. The link is at the bottom of the page, so you need to scroll down.

    Note that you can easily add new data source connections on the Supermetrics Hub.

  4. If you belong to multiple teams, you'll be asked to select one. Choose the team you'd like to add the new account to.

  5. Click + Add connection to add a new user account.

  6. Click Reconnect and then Done.

Add data source accounts

  1. Click the Edit icon next to your data source (or click ResourceManaged added data sources and click Edit there).

  2. Click Edit connection.

  3. Under Select accounts (this might also read Select pages or Select profiles, for example, depending on your data source) and choose the accounts you'd like to add.
    Be careful with the ALL ACCOUNTS option, as it will pull data from all accounts you have access to and might surpass your subscription limit. 

  4. Click Reconnect and then Done.

You can add as many connections as you want, but you can only add data source accounts according to your subscription limits and prioritized accounts you've selected. 

If after adding new accounts you see an error saying The query is trying to pull data from x views that are not listed as prioritised accounts, you're using more accounts than your subscription supports. Learn how to avoid exceeding your subscription's account limits.
