 1. Log on to the product's management console and select "Data Service -> Create" under the "Main" menu.
2. The Create Data Service page appears. Fill in the fields and click Next. The Data Service name is mandatory.

3. The Data Sources page appears. Click on the Add New Data Source link and add your Data Source details. Select the data source type as Google Spread Sheet.
