Before proceeding, it is critically important that the steps are conducted in the order defined below. Going out of order could cause syncing issues with your data in Latchel and/or Yardi.
Step 1 - Configuring the Vendor Options for Latchel
Menu Path: Basic iData Menu > Interfaces > Configuration > Review Interface Vendors > Interface Configuration
- Confirm the vendor name appears in Voyager under the appropriate Interface configuration. If vendor is not present, contact Yardi Technical Support to load the vendor package.
- Select the vendor name.
- Select the options desired on the vendor configuration screen. These options are based on client preferences and vendor requirements. The available options vary depending on the interface type.
- Save the configuration options.
Step 2 - Configure the Property or Property List
For a Single Property:Menu Path: Setup > Property > Find Property > [property code] > Submit
- Click on Functions drop down menu. Click on Interface Configuration.
- Click the appropriate Interface type under Interface Configuration (i.e. Vendor Invoicing).
- Highlight Latchel under Available Agencies. Click Select and Save.
For a Property List:Menu Path: Interfaces > Configuration > Bulk Property Configuration
- Enter property list code.
- Select Interface Type from drop down.
- Select Configure.
- Highlight Latchel from list of Available Agencies and click Save.
Step 3 - Configure the Interface User
Menu Path: System Administration >Security > Add User
- Create a new interface user and link to a security group for the specific Interface Type. The security group should have Read or Read/Write access for appropriate web services permission(s). (e.g. Interfaces: Web Service – Common Data)
- Enter the property code or property list code in the property field to allow interface user access to properties configured for Latchel.
- Click on Privileges tab and select Interface User. This will give user access through the web services, but not the Voyager front end.
- Click Save.
Step 4 - Provide Access Information to Latchel
- Voyager URL (vendor will append the appropriate web services endpoint).
- Interface username and password.
- Database Name
- Server Name (will always be the same as Database Name)
You should always notify the third-party vendor of any changes to Voyager URL, database server or database name.
