CONFIGURE CLIENT UPLOAD OPTIONS

Use this application to define export parameters for client, client address, and client contact information. The integration process will use these parameters to upload this information from Deltek CRM/GovWin into Costpoint. Client information is established in the Clients and Contacts screens in the Vision Info Center.

In order to run this application, you must be licensed for the Deltek CRM/GovWin Integration add-on module.

Use this screen after you have properly configured your client information in the Clients/Contacts screens and before setting up interface instances in the Interface Configuration & Scheduler screen (Others » Product Interfaces » Interface Controls).

Basic Information

Select this check box to upload basic client information from the applicable records in the Clients screen in Vision Info Center.

Addresses (Primary)

Select Clients

Use this group box to specify the range of client numbers that will be used by the interface process to select client information from Vision.

List Mode

Select this check box to create a customized, non-contiguous list of client numbers for the current parameter record. Begin by selecting the Range Option, and then populate the From and/or To fields. Once you complete your selection, apply it to the list box by clicking the Apply button. Repeat this process as many times as necessary so that you can specify the client numbers from which client data will be selected and processed. To remove one of the client range selections, highlight it in the list box and click the Remove button. The order of the selections in the list box does not affect the interface process. If you clear the List Mode check box while the list box is populated, the system will display the following warning message: "Changing Range Option will clear the Selection List Box field. Continue?" Click Yes to clear the list box of its current contents. Click No to return to the main screen.

Apply

Select this button to add the selected client numbers in the From and/or To fields to the list box.

Remove

To remove one of the client number selections, highlight it in the list box and click the Remove button.

Select Client Type

Use this group box to specify the client type range that will be used by the interface process to select client information from Costpoint.
