Steps

To edit a data file's details, follow these steps.

Click on Data Files on the menu in the left-hand side;
Find the data file you want to work on and click View;
Click on the Edit Data File button;
Enter the Data File Name;
This is the display name of the data file and is only used within the OdataLink website.
Enter the Data File Code;
The secret code which will form part of the OData feed url. It must be unique for your account. Changing it will break any OData feed url in use for this data file. This may be useful if concerned that an OData feed url has been compromised. If you decide to change it, note that it must be at most 20 characters long. Only letters, numbers dashes and spaces are allowed.
Tick/untick the Enabled checkbox;
Controls whether all OData feed urls for this data file are usable.
Set the Login Type to Use MY.MYOB Account or Use explicit data file USER NAME and PASSWORD;
When set to Use MY.MYOB Account, the login will use whichever my.myob account used when adding the data file.

When set to Use explicit data file USER NAME and PASSWORD, you will need to specify an additional User Name and Password to connect to the data file. This should preferably be the Administrator user name of the data file.

Whichever approach you use should match how you regularly login to MYOB.
Click Save.
