The External Sources Module

The module External Sources manages integrations between Captia Web Client and external systems, for instance, a service that delivers external data from an external source such as a civil registration system - in Denmark such as the CPR register.

To ensure an integration the following conditions must be met:

  • The integration must be set up at the same time as the WorkZone Content Server database is installed. Then basic data concerning the integration is automatically entered into the database. Among other things this means that relevant configuration information is displayed in the column Name and Description of the External Sources module.  
  • The organizations that want to use Captia Web Client with an integration, for example CPR, must have an agreement with the provider of the service. The provider then supplies information regarding software and configuration. The name of the software and the parameters of the configuration must then be registered in the External Sources module.


Prerequisites for managing External sources

The prerequisite for gaining access to the External sources module is the access code DATAADM.
