Linking

When you first use Data Link, your TraceGains items will not be linked to the corresponding TraceGains Ingredient in your Genesis database and will appear with this icon. 

To link the TraceGains item to a Genesis Ingredient

1. Click the item in the list on the left. This will initiate a search for the user-created Ingredient in the Genesis database.
2. If the Ingredient name exactly matches the TraceGains name exactly, it will appear in the search results. (If not - and this happens sometimes, depending on your company's naming conventions - you will have to modify your search to find the Ingredient. Try using more general terms and partial words.) NOTE: The search only looks for user-created Ingredients, not those included in the Genesis database. 
   
   
3. Click the icon.

This links the TraceGains item to the Genesis database Ingredient. Once this initial linking process is performed, then future experiences would be linking data updates from TraceGains. Linked data will overwrite data in the Genesis database, including Nulls. After an update the Ingredient data will match that from TraceGains.
