Companies are used to represent data source entities, specifically where part of the API URL must be replaced depending on the company. For example, if you are working with Company A and Company B, and each organization has its own unique API URL, by setting up multiple companies you can later just configure a single service and dynamically replace the company portion.
Wildcard Company
By default, a single Wildcard Company will be automatically created upon deployment. This company cannot be deleted or edited, but can be marked inactive if not needed. The Wildcard Company is only needed if another default company is not going to be created.
Company Creation
When creating a new company, the following must be defined:
- Title – The name of the company. This is only used and seen within the application configuration.
- Internal Name – The internal name is the actual value of the variable that will be used to replace the company section of the API URL.
- Active – Denotes if the company is active. Non-active companies will not be available in portal configuration.
- Default– Specifies if the company is the default. Only a single default company can exist.
