FAQs

TraceLink apps are extended through solutions, which pull together assets that define how the app looks and functions when users interact with it (i.e. the app's data model, pages workflows, roles, and policies). Solutions available in the Marketplace Catalog can be saved as Company Solutions and configured to meet a company's specific use cases and business needs. For more information on solutions and configuring solutions for an app, see the OPUS Solution Environment Help Center.

The Integration Catalog solution provides the user interface for the Integration Manager app.

Integration Catalog is an enterprise solution available in TraceLink's Opus Ensemble release. It provides a user interface for managing and creating Link Actions, Transforms, and Integration Configuration Objects (ICO).

• A Link Action is a JavaScript snippet used to retrieve information (e.g. purchase orders, invoices) from ERP systems (e.g. NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics) and send inbound B2B messages to applications such as MINT. For more information, see Link Actions.

• Transforms enable seamless data exchange between businesses and their trade partners by mapping data between external formats and TraceLink's canonical, and from the canonical to the external formats. For more information, see Transforms.

• ICOs enable Application Administrators to provide configuration values (via UI) when a transform is executed. For more information, see Integration Configuration Objects (ICO).

It is TraceLink's system data format that is irrelevant to the device or program's function. The canonical data model allows information to be exchanged with any partner on the network, regardless of their data format. For detailed information about the canonical structure and mapping guidelines, see Canonical Guidelines.

The following role can be assigned to users:

• Link Action Developer – Allows access to view, create, and update Company and Marketplace Link Actions.

• Transform Manager – Allows access to view, create, and update Company and Marketplace Transforms.

Roles group a set of permissions for specific actions (either in the UI or via API), side menu items, and data within an app. The solution applied to the app or its network determines which roles are available. Administrators assign users to roles when they assign users to an app, its network, or its Links.

Owners assign specific roles to Links, which allow their Partners to assign those roles to the Partner users with access to the Link.

Companies must own Opus Solution Environment (OSE) to add or edit roles. If your company owns OSE and you also have the Solution Designer role assigned, you can add new roles to a Company Solution or edit existing roles by navigating to OSE and selecting Roles in the side menu. See the Opus Solution Environment Help Center for more information. If your company does not own OSE, then contact TraceLink Support for more information.
