Manage Integration

Information about an Integration’s features, activation status, and options for management are displayed in sections within the Manage Integration panel for the selected Integration type (e.g. Enterprise Search, Parse.ly).

Links to additional information about the Integration’s publisher and available documentation are displayed in the right-hand column of the panel.

Available Services

Integrations typically provide multiple features and services. Some Integrations require a paid subscription for all of its features to be available.

In the Manage Integration panel an Integration’s features and services are listed in the section labeled “Available Services“.

Features that are currently available display a green checkmark. Features that display a grey checkmark are not currently available, and activating them might require an organization to upgrade from a “Free” plan to a “Paid” plan. Where applicable, instructions for upgrading to a paid plan are provided below the Available Services list.

Activation Map

The Activation Map section, located in the lower area of an Integration’s Manage Integration panel, provides an overview of the environments where the Integration is currently active. The table displays information across three columns:

• Application: The name of the application that has the Integration active on at least one environment.
• Environments: Environments on which the Integration is active. Environment types are differentiated by either “production” or “non-production“. If an Integration is active on more than one non-production environment, the total number of those environments is indicated in parentheses (e.g. “non-production (2)“).
• Action: The linked text with the value “Configure” can be selected to access the “Configure Integration” panel for the environment on which an Integration is active. If the Integration is active on more than one environment in an application, a prompt will require the user to select a specific target environment from a dropdown menu. The user will then be directed to the Integration’s “Configure Integration” panel for the selected environment.

Activate an Integration for an application

An Integration is considered “activated” for an application if it is active on at least one of its environments.

To activate an Integration for an application:

1. Navigate to the Activate on New Application section on the Manage Integration panel.
2. Select the field with the placeholder text “Select an application“.
3. Select an application from the dropdown list.
4. Select the button labeled “Go” located to the right of the dropdown menu.

By default, the user will be directed to the “Configure Integrations” panel for the application’s production environment. If production is not the intended environment, select a different environment (e.g., staging, develop) from the environment dropdown menu located at the upper-left of the VIP Dashboard.

In the section labeled “Activate Integration“:

5. Activate the Integration by toggling the switch to “Active” (green background with a white check mark).

After activation, an Integration might require additional configuration steps before it is fully operational. Integrations that are activated on a WordPress multisite environment are more likely to require additional steps and configuration for each network site. Where applicable, instructions for additional steps will appear post-activation in the Configure Integration panel.

Deactivate an Integration for an application

An Integration can be deactivated from an application within the Activation Map table on the Manage Integrations panel.

In the Activation Map column labeled “Action” for an Integration:

1. Select the three-dot menu (“···“) to the right of the linked text with the value “Configure“.
2. Select the option labeled “Deactivate Integration” in the flyout menu.
3. Confirm deactivation of the Integration by selecting the button labeled “Deactivate” in the confirmation dialog.

Deactivate an Integration for a single environment

In the Activation Map column labeled “Action” for an Integration:

1. Select the link with the text value “Configure“.
2. If the Integration is active on more than one environment in the application, the user will be presented with a dropdown menu in a dialog titled “Select an environment to configure”.
3. Select an environment from the dropdown menu.
4. Select the button labeled “Configure” to access the “Configure Integrations” panel for that environment.

In the section labeled “Activate Integration“:

5. Deactivate the Integration by toggling the switch to “Inactive” (grey background with a white “x”).
