Overview
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.
This feature allows for a Consumer / Provider relationship to be created using the Workflow subsystem, and without the use of custom scripting.
Under the Configuration menu, click on Workflows
Creating a Consumer / Provider Workflow
Start by creating a single step workflow. Detailed instructions on creating a single step Workflow can be found here.
- Navigate to the Workflow Subsystem
- Press the + New Workflow icon
- Select the Workflow Type, give the workflow a Name, select the Trigger When action, and complete any other relevant fields. Reference (wiki article1)]
- Click Save
Creating a New Task

| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection Type | Select whether this connection is either a Consumer or Provider type. |
| Connection Application | Specify the source UTA |
| Connection Level | Specify the Level One entity, or Level 2 or 3 activity |
| Object ID / Variable | Enter the record id or a variable to obtain the record id of the object to connect to. Multiple records should be semi-colon delimited (eg. For example: @#2762780#@;@#2762781#@). |

The example above is adding consumer L1 from Budgets UTA with ID from the listed two custom fields using the linked budget role to the record that's triggering the workflow.
