Integrations


The integrations menu shows all of the out-of-the-box integrations the OneBlink LcS supports. It is the consolidated location to configure those integrations. If you need assistance with a specific integration check out the article associated with that integration. 


Lists


Lists are used for user select elements (radio buttons, checkboxes, selects and autocomplete) they allow you to create a list of options that can be used in any user select elements. This saves time allowing you to select an existing list of options instead of needing to recreate it for every element that uses it. Lists also only need to be updated once and the changes will appear anywhere that list is being used.

Developer Tools



Option Sets


Option Sets are very similar to Lists in that they are used on user select elements to create lists of options. Option sets however allow you to create integrations via APIs into other systems where your list is located.

Lookups


Lookups are used to either populate existing form elements or generate form elements by linking to an API. These can be incredibly powerful, from pulling information into a form via your CMS to generating entirely custom forms.
