This option is only relevant if you use the Itiva messaging system. Please contact Infor for more information.

616.7 Smartcard webservices parameters[//]

The system supports various web services for "receiving" details of borrowers from an external system. For instance, when registering new students in a university system, this information can be passed on to Vubis, where they will automatically be registered as new borrowers. Similar mechanisms can be used to update and delete such information.

Please contact Infor for more information on using such web services.
