UTA Provider/Consumer Relationships allows for the sharing of data between different [[UTA|UTAs]].
In this relationship one UTA will act as the Providerprovider, allowing the information held within that UTA to be accessible from a second UTA.
This second UTA will act as the Consumerconsumer, pulling in the information from the Provider provider UTA.
Both the level ones and level twos can be used in this Provider/Consumer relationship.
==Adding a Provider Record to a Consumer Record==
The Standard UTA Level 1 fields [[Configuring_UTA_Provider/Receiver_(Consumer)_Relationships#Configure_Consumer_UTA_display_settings|UTA Providers and UTA Providers (L2)]] are used to establish a direct relationship between a record from a provider UTA and a record from a consumer UTA.
When you add either of these fields to the consumer UTA Level 1 entity it will display as a section in the Level 1 entity;
Once you have the provider record and connection role selected then you can click on the Add button.
The Provider provider record will then be listed in the UTA Provider section of the consumer record.<br />

To access these fields then expose the Role column in the [[Configuring_UTA_Provider/Receiver_(Consumer)_Relationships#Configure_Consumer_UTA_display_settings|Provider List View]].
You can then go to the Consumer consumer record and click on the role name in the resulting list view. <br />

This will launch a window exposing the association specific custom fields and allowing for properties specific to the association to be recorded. <br />
