When to use this option

• When you no longer want to access the company data remotely from a specific computer
• To re-sync the RDA connection by disconnecting then reconnecting
• To reconnect to the correct or different dataset
• To reconnect to a company on RDA that had to be removed

When you disconnect, the data remains available to other RDA sites. However, what happens to the data on your computer/server depends on whether you log in as MANAGER or not:

Logged on as MANAGER?	Local computer/server
Yes	The company data remains on your local computer/server, but is no longer synchronised with the company shared using RDA.
No	Your computer/server deletes the local company data.
