Configure the basic connection details with the Coupa quick connection template:

5. On the Connection Options tab, click Next.
6. On the General Info tab, in the Connection Name field, enter a name of your choosing. Click Next.
On the Browser SSO tab, configure your assertion creation settings and customize the defaults set by the metadata file.
