Configuration Tools

Describes the tools available in the Configuration Tools section of the Self-Service Dashboard.

The primary purpose of SAP Fieldglass integrations is to move data securely from one system to another system. There’s a starting point where the data resides and an ending point where the data needs to be delivered.

Connectors are the transports that encompass the data, data format, and business logic required to seamlessly integrate with a client's application. Connectors eliminate the need for manual entry. The functionality decreases the amount of time it takes to process data and increases data accuracy by removing the chance for errors introduced by manual entry.

Connectors are grouped into two activity types:

  • Upload Connectors – populate data from the client's system into SAP Fieldglass.

  • Download Connectors – populate data from SAP Fieldglass into the client’s system.

Configuration Tools allow you to independently manage the integration connectors for your company, eliminating the need to open support cases with SAP Fieldglass to implement those actions in your company. Using an intuitive wizard framework, you can enable, edit, and manage connectors, as well as monitor the progress of file uploads and downloads, and troubleshoot issues if they arise, and manage all connector-related activities.
