Define your connection

Before you start modeling the data in StoPanel Data Hub you should define the following:

1. What is the sending system? How can Data Hub access it (e.g. API)? What protocol and format (JSON preferred) has to be considered? How does authentication work?

2. What is the receiving system? How can it be accessed? What protocol and format (JSON preferred) has to be considered? How does authentication work?

3. What data has to be transferred? How do they have to be transformed/mapped?

4. How has the interface to be triggered? Are there events or regular intervals (e.g. daily)?

You can use these tables to gather the necessary information. The first table initiates the implementation project. The second table is filled in at the beginning of the project.
