In this dialog box, configure connection to the specified Perforce server.

ItemDescription
Perforce is online Select this checkbox to enable establishing connection to the Perforce server.

If there is a connection but the server does not respond (for example, because the server is backing up currently), you can disable such attempts by clearing this checkbox, or JetBrains Rider will suggest to do that after a timeout. After that the version control-specific operations will be disabled.
