UTA Provider/Consumer Relationships allows for the sharing of data between different UTAs.

Both the level ones and level twos can be used in this Provider/Consumer relationship.

Below is a high-level overview of the required configuration steps:

  • Enable Provider UTA
  • Enable Consumer UTA
  • Configure Provider UTA connection settings
  • Configure Provider UTA display settings
  • Configure Consumer UTA Connection roles
  • Configure Consumer UTA display settings

These steps are described in greater detail below.

Enable Provider UTA

The first thing you need to do is to indicate that one UTA will act as the Provider, allowing the information held within that UTA to be accessible from a second UTA.

1. Click on the Settings tab in your UTA.

2. Click on the General tab.

3. Scroll down to the Connectivity Settings section.

4. Populate check-box adjacent to Enable UTA Connection as Provider - UTAs can be linked to Other UTAs.

Enable Consumer UTA

You must also indicate that a second UTA will act as the Consumer, pulling in the information from the Provider UTA.

1. Click on the Settings tab.

2. Click on the General tab.

3. Scroll down to the Connectivity Settings section.

4. Populate check-box adjacent to Enable UTA Connection as Receiver - UTAs can be linked to Other UTAs.

5. Click Save.


Configure Provider UTA connection settings

You must then formally link the Provider UTA to the Consumer UTA, including selecting whether the link will be based on Level 1s or Level 2s.

4. Go back to the Provider UTA, to the Settings page, under Level 1 settings go to UTA Connection Settings and link the consumer UTA to the provider UTA based upon the status(es), template(s) and the ID field required (this will probably be the Level 1 name of the Provider UTA).
