Here are some important terms used in this documentation that will help you understand the integration process and its components:
-
API (Application Programming Interface): A set of tools and protocols that enable different software systems (such as Intempus and Uniconta) to communicate with each other.
-
Synchronizing: The process of ensuring that data is consistent across two systems by automatically updating one system when changes occur in the other.
-
Reports: A record of working hours for an employee, submitted through Intempus and used for payroll, invoicing or project follow-up in Uniconta.
-
Field mapping: The process of matching data fields in one system (eg Intempus) with corresponding fields in another system (eg Uniconta) to ensure that information is transferred correctly between the two systems.
-
Validation rules: Predefined checks that ensure that the data being synchronized between systems meets certain requirements (eg all required fields are filled).
-
Custom workflow: A set of automated tasks that run based on specific conditions, designed to streamline a business process (eg sending notifications if data is missing in a work report).
