Spectrum

Connecting Fast-Weigh to Spectrum Accounting

The primary link between Fast-Weigh and Spectrum accounting is the Spectrum Data Exchange (SDX) module. If your version of Spectrum Accounting does not include the SDX module, please contact Viewpoint, Inc.

Before Spectrum can be integrated with Fast-Weigh, you will need to set up an SDX Authorization ID and create a profile of web services for Fast-Weigh to access.

Spectrum/Fast-Weigh Integration Guide

1. Create a new Data Exchange profile in Spectrum

  • Open a web browser and log into your organization's Spectrum server. The URL used to access this server is your SDX IP Address.

  • Click the [+] tab at the top left of the page to open a site map

  • Navigate to System Administration > Installation > Data Exchange.

  • Click New to build a new data exchange profile for Fast-Weigh.

  • The Authorization ID should be set to match your Fast-Weigh SDX Authorization ID.

  • You can find this in your Fast-Weigh Web Portal under Settings > Portal Settings > Spectrum Settings

  • Then select Active as the status in Spectrum

  • Choose your company code(s) and click OK.

  • Next, click the Spectrum operator code drop-down menu and hit GO.

  • Choose your operator code.

  • The operator code ties the authorization code to a particular login with a security role. When done, click OK.

  • Click Build.
