Once the connection is configured, I’ll use the records it provides and cite each one. Anything it doesn’t supply stays listed as missing.

Linked record review

Illustrative work with Microsoft Excel: a request to Neil, the source it reads and what it returns.

1What’s connected.

Import data from structured Excel workbooks into Seal records, or generate reports from Seal data, through a connection set up with Seal’s API or Scripts. Fix the workbook layout and reject files that do not match it.

Connection setup and permissions

Use Seal’s APIs or scripting engine for a connection tailored to your process. Agree the data mapping, access and direction of transfer before implementation.

2Start with the job.

Tell us what Neil needs to do and which records it needs. We’ll confirm the interface, permissions and implementation scope with your team.

3Before it goes live.

Access and any write-back

Define which records are in scope and whose permissions apply. Whether the connection writes back at all is a separate decision, with its own mapping and approval.

Data and failure handling

Agree the field mapping, identifiers, units and source of record. Test missing or duplicate data, interrupted transfers and recovery before relying on the connection.

Verification and release

Review the configured connection for its intended use. Keep the requirements, checks and evidence with the change, and approve the release through your team’s controls.
