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.The article describes how to create a Consumer / Provider relationship using the Workflow subsystem, and without the use of custom scripting.

| Connection Application | Specify the source UTA |
| Connection Level | Specify the Level One entity, or Level 2 or 3 activity |
