Digital integration form (easy form) fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Subscriber Business Application | Name of the business application that uses the provided interface to consume, exchange, or ingest data to support a business capability. The subscriber business application is affected by the changes or an outage, causing connection or data loss.Note: The provider and subscriber roles define interface ownership, not data flow direction. The provider owns the digital interface; the subscriber consumes it. Data flow direction—whether incoming, outgoing, or bidirectional—is set separately using the Data Flow Direction field and reflects which application initiates the connection. For example, the provider can receive data (incoming) if the subscriber initiates the connection. For more information, see Example: Provider and subscriber with data flow directions. |
| Subscriber Digital Interface | Name of the digital interface that subscribes for the integration. |
| Provider Business Application | Name of the business application that provides the digital interface that enables other applications to consume or ingest data. Changes, ownership, and responsibilities of the interface are often connected to the provider.Note: The provider and subscriber roles define interface ownership, not data flow direction. The provider owns the digital interface; the subscriber consumes it. Data flow direction—whether incoming, outgoing, or bidirectional—is set separately using the Data Flow Direction field and reflects which application initiates the connection. For example, the provider can receive data (incoming) if the subscriber initiates the connection. For more information, see Example: Provider and subscriber with data flow directions.
