Console

Add Individual Target Contacts

An individual user can be assigned as a Business Contact or a Developer at the Target or Source level in Target Design and at the Object level in Console.

When assigned at the Object level, the contact is added to every Target and Source that belongs to the Object, and can be viewed and edited in Target Design.

Many or all users can be assigned to many or all objects at the same time using Console. Refer to Add Multiple Target Contacts to an Object for more information.

Developers approve mappings on the Mapping Approval page submitted for a Target-Source in Map on the Field Mappings page. Refer to Approve or Reject Mappings for more information.

Business User Contacts are used for reporting purposes and automatically receive published reports and Data Services reports for the Target and Source in Transform. Refer to Report Delivery for more information.

Refer to Add Developers and Business Contacts to a Target or Source for more information about adding users as contacts in Target Design.

When a Target is added to an Object in Target Design, any Object contacts with positions of Business User (Target Contact) or Developer (Target Contact) in Console will be automatically added to the appropriate target contacts and Target Source contacts in Target Design.

If the contact is deleted or removed from the Object’s Business User (Target Contact) or Developer (Target Contact) position in Console, the contact is also removed from the target contacts or Target Source contacts in Target Design.

While changes in Object contacts cascade down to Target Design, changes to contacts in Target Design do not affect contacts at the Object level. Removing a target or source contact in Target Design does not affect target contact assignments at the Object level.

To add the contact to an Object in Console that will be used in Target Design:

  1. Select Elements > Object in the Navigation pane.
  2. Click the Contacts icon for an Object.
  3. Click Add.

    View the feild descriptions for the Object Contacts page

  4. Select the contact name in the CONTACT list box.

    NOTE: These users are registered in the platform.

    NOTE: Users who are not registered in the platform but who should receive workflow messages can be added. Type the user’s name in the CONTACT list box and proceed with the steps.

  5. Select Business User (Target Contact) or Developer (Target Contact) from the POSITION list box.

    NOTE: A user cannot be added as both a Business User and a Developer to the same object in Console. A user can be added as a Business User to a target, and a Developer to a different target in the same object. Refer to Add Developers and Business Contacts to a Target or Source for more information about adding users as contacts in Target Design.

  6. Add contact information as needed.
  7. Click Save.

The contact is added as a Developer or Business Contact to all targets and sources associated with the Object in Target Design.
