File Names

Distinctive file names facilitate the management of various integration points.

Touchpoints

• Import

  An import touchpoint corresponds to an available Taleo product service offering as defined in the data dictionary. The services have the same name as the business entity for which they offer specific import operations. For example, in the SmartOrg Data dictionary, the Group service offers create, delete, merge, and update operations. Other services may offer different operations.

• Export

  An export touchpoint corresponds to the information to be extracted from a particular Taleo product business model.

Actions

The import actions correspond to the specific operations offered by the service. There is only one export action, and that is an export.
