Managing import flows

Register an import job​

To register an import job, contact Future Ordering support and provide the following information:

  • Endpoint URL — The HTTP endpoint Future Ordering should call when the job runs.
  • Entity type — What is being imported (e.g. menus or stores).
  • Description — A brief description of what the job does.
  • Timeout — How long the job is expected to take at most.
  • Authentication details — How Future Ordering should authenticate when calling your endpoint (e.g. Basic auth credentials).
  • Configuration (optional) — Any static configuration your endpoint needs with each call.

Future Ordering will set up the flow and add your job to it. If a flow for the entity type already exists, your job will be added as an additional step.

Run and monitor imports in Navigator​

Once configured, run and monitor imports from the Orchestrator application in Navigator.

Start a run​

To start a run, press the Start button for the import flow you want to run.

A flow can be configured to require run-specific input, e.g. for which country menus should be imported. In such cases, the application will display a prompt before starting the run.

Start with options

Monitor a run​

The initial view shows previous and active runs for all flows. A progress bar in the status column indicates that a run is in progress.

note

Aborting a run stops the flow from progressing to the next job. It does not immediately abort the currently running job.
