Setting up ProcureSight Integration
This content applies solely to Requirements Management, which must be purchased separately from the Appian base platform. This content was written for Appian 24.2 and may not reflect the interfaces or functionality of other Appian versions.

Introduction

Requirements Management (RM) integrates with ProcureSight to enable government users to gain insights from similar purchases made in the past. To configure this integration, you must create a support case with Appian Support to get the base URL and API key needed to configure the connected system and gain access to the ProcureSight backend data service. This page provides instructions for configuring the ProcureSight integration in your RM application.

Note:  The instructions on this page assume you've already requested and received the base URL and API Key. If you haven't yet completed this prerequisite, please contact Appian Support.

Configure ProcureSight Data Service

The ProcureSight Data Service allows RM users to search for procurements from public data sources.

To configure the ProcureSight Data Service:

  1. Request the base URL and API key via a support case.
  2. Update the AS_RM_PRO_CS_DataService connected system with those values:
    1. Enter the Base URL.
    2. In the Value field, Clear to remove the existing value.
    3. Paste the API key into the Value field.
    4. Click Save.
  3. Test one of the ProcureSite integration objects to make sure the API key works:
    1. Click on an integration. For example, AS_RM_PRO_INT_searchOpportunities.
    2. Click the TEST REQUEST button.
    3. If the test results in an error and you need help troubleshooting, please contact support.
  4. Navigate to the Functionality section of the Solutions Hub and turn on the toggle for Enable/Disable ProcureSight Module. This allows users to view ProcureSight features.
  5. Find the constant, AS_RM_PRO_BOOL_RUN_NIGHTLY_DATA_REFRESH, and set its value to True. This will allow the nightly sync of saved procurements.

Configure Document Download Service

The Configure Document Download Service allows RM users to download documents from procurements that appear in their search results.

Note:  The API key referenced here is different from the API key you need to request from support for the ProcureSight Data Service, please follow the steps to create an API key and service account to properly configure this service.

To configure the Document Download Service:

  1. Navigate to the Web API Authentication section in the Admin Console.
  2. Follow these steps for creating an API key
    • Be sure to create a new service account with a descriptive name and add the service account to the AS RM PRO Administrators group.
    • When finished, copy the API key. The value of the API key will not be displayed after this step.
  3. Open the connected system, AS_RM_PRO_CS_AppianEnvironmentServiceAccount and paste your API key in the Value field after clearing the existing value.
  4. Make sure users have the ability to download any documents attached to the procurement by navigating to the Procurements tab on the RM Site and searching for procurements.
