Web Service Admin

Web Service Admin

Web Services connect IWS to an external database and allows IWS to read information from that database to be used in indexing and searching.  Details about the web service feed from the external system or database must be known prior to setup in this screen.

Web Service Search/List

Use the list to find and edit an existing web service.  Use the +Add Service button to create a new web service.

• Use the search/filter boxes at the top of the grid to narrow the list of web service.
• The column headers can be clicked to sort each column.  Click again to sort the opposite direction.
• Click on any web service record to open the edit screen.
