Connectors in the Workflow Module

The connectors provide a framework for the import and export of data into Webdesk (or out of Webdesk).
The definition of source connectors (the source the data comes from) and target connectors (where the data goes) allows the data flow to be designed. In this way, data can not only be synchronized from the time management system into Webdesk, but databases can also be addressed and text files (CSV files) created. Data can also be transported out of Webdesk and imported and formatted in other systems (interface framework).

In principle, there are the following types of connectors:

• Reading connectors
• Writing connectors
• Connectors that can both read and write

In addition, linked connectors can be defined in Webdesk. They represent a link between connectors and thus allow a more precise definition of the data flow (definition of sender and receiver).

The following connector is used in the Workflow module:

• Process instance connector
  reads and writes process instances (e.g. requests) of a specific process definition.

Example of the configuration of a process instance connector

The process instance connector reads and writes process instances (e.g. requests) of a specific process definition.
The process instances can be configured for specific persons, groups or clients.
