Edit option disappeared from Navigator

Hi Guys, 

 

I've got a report I've been working on that's already got some data from source pulling in but I wanted to add some more and I noticed the Edit option from the navigator has disappeared?? I checked in a new blank file I still get the option so not sure what I've done in this specific report to disable it... Can you please help?

@Anonymous ,

 

Which data source and which connection mode are you using? Could you clarify more details?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you select the direct query or import mode when connecting to the datasource?

Hi MFelix,

 

I didn't get the option to choose between those two. The way I connect is: 

 

New Source/PostgreSQL database then I put in the server address and the database name, and it connects and I can see the list of views and tables, etc. On the existing report there is no option to edit, whereas if I connect the exact same way in a blank file the option to Edit is there. 

 

Thank you
