Why.jpeg This article will explain why this feature is a benefit to your organization.


This feature allows the creation of a Consumer / Provider relationship using the Workflow subsystem, without custom scripting. SmartSimple's UTA Provider/Consumer Relationships allows for the sharing of data between different UTAs.The UTA providing the data (the source UTA) is referred to as the Provider while the UTA receiving the data is referred to as the Consumer.

As example use case is when a level 1 application is submitted and you would like to link it to the Budget Level two. This link would be based on on criteria such as call settings to Level One type etc. The workflow task would allow the use variable syntax to get the ID (or IDs) of the provider or consumer. The role can also be specified.


  • This feature is only available to level 1 and level 2 workflows.
  • From the Task Type field, options to create both a Consumer / Provider link as well as a Provider / Consumer link are available.
