Set Up FoodChain ID Connector

If the assisted setup was not run, you will need to set up how the FoodChain ID Connector app will work.

Set up the connection information

Set up the token needed to connect to FoodChain ID, and which data will be imported and exported when the NICFCH Scheduled Job Runner (23079758) job is run.

  1. Choose the icon, enter FoodChain ID Connector Setup, and then choose the related link.

  2. On the FoodChain ID Connector Setup page, in the General FastTab, populate the following fields:

    Field Description
    FoodChain ID Environment Select the FoodChain ID environment to which to connect.

    • Sandbox: Connect to the preview environment.

    • Production: Connect to the live environment.
    Token

    Enter the unique API token used to connect to the FoodChain ID API.

    Copy the token from FoodChain ID and paste into this field. This token is found in the User information section in FoodChain ID. Since only one token is required to connect, you can choose to have a generic user in FoodChain ID, which will contain the API token.

    Copy the token from FoodChain ID and paste into this field. The token is held in secure storage not in the database.

  3. In the Scheduled Job FastTab, populate the following fields:
