# Teamcenter to Datum

## Getting started

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

First, connect Datum and create your integration (instructions [here](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/d/datum)). You can specify things like:

* the types of data you want to fetch into Violet (parts, purchase orders, etc.)
* how often data should be fetched
  {% endstep %}

Next, connect Teamcenter and create your integration (instructions [here](https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/t/teamcenter)).
{% endstep %}

### Configure data sync

Last, choose Datum as the destination for automated syncs.

You can then configure how data should be synced to Datum by specifying:

* the types of data you want to sync to Datum
* any specific rules for what should be synced (for example, pushing only released parts)
* any unique mappings for custom fields or attributes
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

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

#### One-time data syncs

Alternatively, you can push assemblies to Datum 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 Datum. Any future pushes will update existing parts and/or create new parts intelligently (it will not duplicate data).
