I have an overlapping integration for the template I want to import, what are my options?

When the system determines that you have an overlapping integration, you have a couple options.  If you are simply wanting to see how this particular template is put together, then enter a unique "Integration Name" prior to importing the template.  The U-LINC Configuration Manager (UCM) will create a new integration that will be "Inactive".  We only allow one active integration per primary table, therefore, if you have another integration for the same primary table that is active, you will not be able to activate the downloaded template integration.

The obvious next question is, how do I import a template which has an overlapping integration and be allowed to activate both?  The answer is to ensure the "Integration Name" for the template you are going to import is the same as the existing overlapping template.  During the import, the UCM will merge your existing integration with the template integration being imported.  It's important to know that these changes will be effective immediately, so if your current integration is active, U-LINC will immediately begin sending the information to the target SharePoint list.  However, the imported template workflow will still need to be published prior to using the new template.

Hope this is helpful!

(Note: This approach was changed and will require U-LINC version 1.2 or later. There is a different method for the RTM version that is still supported in 1.2.)
