How.png This article will explain how you can implement this feature for use on your SmartSimple system.


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.

  1. Under the Configuration menu, click on Workflows
  2. Press the "+" New Workflow icon
  3. Select the Workflow Type, give the workflow a Name, select the Trigger When action, and complete any other relevant fields.
  4. Click Save

Notes

  • This feature is only available to level 1 and level 2 workflows.
  • Separate Object ID / Variables by semicolon (For example: @#2762780#@;@#2762781#@).
  • From the Task Type field, options to create both a Consumer / Provider link as well as a Provider / Consumer link are available.
