- Read Design is the way to read the layout - the information about tables and fields - from a Connection. Reading the design is necessary in order to be able to lookup table- and field names when editing the transfer setup.
- Read Design is done from every single Connection in question.
- Log in to [MyRapidi](https://myrapidi.com/login). Go to the Connections menu item and select the Connection you want to Read Design for. Then click the Read Design button.
- You will need to do the Read Design each time you have changed the layout of the tables/objects that you are working with (if you want to transfer data to/from these fields).

Note: If you don't see the 'Read Design' button to the right of the 'Test' button, it's because you don't have access to _Edit Transfers_. You can contact Rapidi support to get access to Edit Transfers (note that this access is only available on some subscription levels of Rapidi).
