Exchange
Build and use DCKAP Integrator templates in projects
The Exchange contains ready-to-use Templates that can be used to integrate data between one or more systems without any tedious, manual configurations. These pre-built Templates can be used and reused across multiple Projects or re-configured based on the users' needs. They act as a base arrangement, containing default field mapping, basic flow structures, and standard pipe settings.
