# Teamcenter to Cofactr

## Getting started

Follow the instructions below to automatically sync data from [teamcenter](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/t/teamcenter "mention") to [cofactr](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/c/cofactr "mention"):

First, set up and configure your Cofactr integration, following the instructions [here](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/b/boltline). \
\
Ensure that you are fetching the data types that you wish to sync. For the Teamcenter to Cofactr sync, you must at least select **Parts** and **BOMs**.

\
Here is where you will also configure any rules for your sync, for example only pushing parts or BOMs based on **Release** status.

When you have finished configuring the sync, click <mark style="color:purple;">**SAVE**</mark>**.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### One-time data syncs

Alternatively, you can push parts and BOMs to Cofactr on a one-off basis.

1. Navigate to the desired Teamcenter part in Violet. Under **Automations**, select your target app and click Push. If you choose an assembly, the entire assembly will be pushed.
2. Once successful, you will now see this part or assembly in both Violet and Cofactr. Any future pushes will update existing parts and/or create new parts intelligently (it will not duplicate data).
