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 article describes how to create a Consumer / Provider relationship using the Workflow subsystem, without custom scripting.
Creating a Consumer / Provider Workflow
Start by creating a single step workflow. Detailed instructions on creating a single step Workflow can be found here.

- Press the + New Task icon to add a new Workflow task.
- Give the task a Name.
- Select Create Consumer / Provider link from the Task Type drop-down list.

| 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#@). |
