How to create and edit a trading program using data from IDEA Connector
Access up-to-date product information and hierarchies from your IDEA Connector within your Enable account to efficiently manage your trading programs. Simply select your individual products, price groups and categorizations when creating or editing your trading programs.
To do this, navigate to your programs and create a new trading program via the standard program creation process. When selecting Qualifying transactions for your program line, select IDEA Products to access the IDEA Connector.
