Data Transfer

A data transfer allows you to import data into the portal on a one-time or recurring basis according to a schedule, as well as export data from the portal.

To perform a data transfer via the app, you must first set up the appropriate connection in Portal Manager—specifically , in the Integration module. You can find all the information you need here: Data Transfer. Data transfer can also be initiated and carried out there.

Using the " Data Transfer " application template, you can also initiate a data transfer in the browser. This allows authorized users to perform data transfers without having to use the Portal Manager.

To learn how to import this template, see: Importing Online Application Templates.

Configure Permissions

After importing the application, you'll find the following in the application's properties on the Permissions tab of the application's properties.

Members of the App_DataTransfer_Manager role can perform and view data transfers.

Members of the App_DataTransfer_User role can perform data transfers but cannot view them.
