We will start off by taking a look at an example Connection. It is configured to output data to Delta Tables in Databricks and is attached to the Multi Group Output that includes channels from multiple Groups.
The Multi Group Connection
Notice in the above image that the Group and Connection Template fields are both blank and the Connection Name is hard coded to "Multi Group Output Connection".
With this setup, the Connection is not associated with any Group. It exists separately from all of the Groups and is able to be connected to ANY Output in the environment. Think of this Connection in a similar way to the Global Sources in the Cloning with Relations example. When an Output attached to this Connection is cloned,the newly created Output will be attached to the EXACT same Connection.
That is it for creating a Multi Group Connection. Multi Group is treated as the default behavior when Cloning and requires very little additional configuration. See the next section for steps required to create a Single Group Connection using Connection Name Templates.
