Data sources or data storage locations can be specified on page 3 “Recipients” within a processing activity or under

  • Resources > Data sources/storage locations

can be managed.

Both selection fields in the processing activity contain identical data. Why?

  • Data storage locations such as tools can appear elsewhere as a data source

  • If you insist on a clear separation, we recommend distinguishing data sources and storage locations by name using a prefix

Example

In a personnel administration activity, personnel management software XY is used as a data storage location.

In another activity Birthday cards, the personnel management software XY is now used as a data source to extract the names and dates of birth from there
