Ability to see more information about the connector without clicking in

Interested in seeing data on the home page in a new column or even hover that gives details such as what table is the connector linked to, time period and so on. It makes it difficult with a lot of connectors to have to click into each one to edit to  get the additional details. Also, potential an excel export so the customer can track data sources.
 

We would like to see an added column in the Datalinks summary page which displays whether Auto-Check-in is turned on or off for that datalink? We’ve run into an issue a few times where auto check-in is disabled for one reason or another, and the next time we run it we expect it to check in automatically but it doesn’t, and sits in the uploadservice workspace until we notice the issue. It would be helpful if that status was shown as its own column so we could tell what was automated at a quick glance rather than having to check each datalink manually. Even a simple checkbox on the datalinks list would go a long way, and would hopefully be easy to implement. 

Additionally, the ability to “pause” datalinks or suspend scheduling would be extremely helpful as well. Currently if we want to pause imports for any reason, for example our Product Hierarchy import and the associated supporting tables, it means going in to at least 4 different datalink options, removing the scheduling altogether or removing the datalinks from their respective groups, and then un-doing those changes when we want to resume the normal import schedule. If there was a toggle to pause, it would save us a lot of time and effort, and remove a possible avenue for human error to impact our processing.
