When I create a new Report the dataSource default name is always Datasource1.
Do people usually change that or leave it as it is?
e.g. if I have a lot of SQL servers can I use a naming convention that includes the servername so it's easy to see where the data is coming from.
TIA

I always change it as we write custom scripts to deploy reports. Our naming convention matches our application name.
