Apps & Connections Page

Terminology

• Application: A software tool your team already uses (like your CAD tool, project management software, or inventory management system) that you want to connect to Violet

• Connection: The set of setup information that tells Violet how to reach your application, such as the web address, username, and password so Violet can log in and access the data at that location

• Integration: The specific instructions for what data Violet should grab from that connection and how often, such as "get all purchase orders every hour" or "only fetch released parts once a day"

  • Fetch: Process to move data from an application into Violet

  • Sync: Process to align data between two applications, fetching data into Violet and pushing it to the subsequent application.

Think of it like setting up your email on your phone: the application is Gmail, the connection is entering your Gmail address and password, and the integration is choosing how often to check for new messages.
