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.

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.

  • 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.
