When you launch an application - AMP starts a step by step guided process to configure integration between app and Socotra instance. This process has three main sections and a final review one:
- Connect - section, where application version, region and Socotra's integration environment/tenant are set.
- Configure - section, where user can provide application-specific settings, such as details of external services, API keys and urls etc. Any other details that are required for application to work correctly but are not related to Socotra integration or mapping details, should be in this section.
- Map - section, where user can provide tenant-specific mappings. Such as - specify which field in their tenant model (for a single product or across multiple products) corresponds to required or optional app inputs. For example - driver license number or vehicle VIN, model and make details.
- Review - section, where user can see every configuration that was added in previous sections, make a final review and identify any input mistakes. From this section user can return back to any other 3 to fix found problems.
