Setup
#

Create a User Connection Group specifically named *exactly* "ConnectionProfiles" , on Preferences->IP/servers page.

Usage
#

Then use in Job tasks with the syntax {connect_start}profilename{connect_end}. This will bring in the URL for the connection profile where that is configured.

Special Usage (rarely used functionality):
#

In a UserVariable task item, you can use the name of that task item to have the connection profile. Example: {connect_start}conn2{connect_end}
Now the UserVariable task can reference any aspect about this connection.

{connect_url}
{connect_x_myvariable} - where myvariable is an Extra Text item you added at the bottom of the User Manager for this profile.
{connect_other} - where other is any other property from the XML item that was loaded.
