Introduction

Connectors form the core data integration layer within ManagementStudio. They facilitate the transfer and transformation of data between ManagementStudio and external systems across your IT environment. Supported endpoints include Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Active Directory (AD), ServiceNow (SNOW), Lakeside Systrack, and others.

Connectors enable administrators to automate data synchronisation, allowing more focus on business logic rather than connectivity or data extraction details. Once configured, each connector will automatically check for and retrieve new information according to a specified schedule (daily or as otherwise defined).

Accessing the Connectors

To access Connector configuration:

• Navigate to Administration → Extensions
• Select the Connectors option

Only users with administrative privileges can access these settings.

Connector Interface Overview

The Connector interface comprises three primary areas:

Control Bar (1)

Located at the top of the interface, the Control Bar provides the following options:

Tab List (2)

Displayed on the left, the Tab List allows administrators to group connectors for improved organisation and navigation.

Main Area (3)

Selecting a connector from the Tab List updates the Main Area to show configuration details, status, and synchronisation information for the chosen connector.
