Add a linked Collaborate instance to Publisher
There are two types of linked instances between Collaborate and Publisher:
1)
Fully unified
and 2) API connected
An API-connected instance allows you to have benefits such as the Collaborate panels, without requiring the full unification.
To add Collaborate panels to a dashboard, there must be a Collaborate instance linked to a Publisher instance. You can link instances if you are a system administrator in both Publisher and Collaborate.
Firstly, navigate to your instance of Collaborate and register an API client in
System
administration
> API application registration
:
In Publisher, you need to navigate to
System admin
> System settings
> Linked collaborate instances
:
Select
Add instance:
The fields in the
Add collaborate instance
screen are described below:- Instance Name- This is the context name, so for example,https://collaborate.highq.com/sitepoint/would be 'sitepoint'.
- Instance base URL- This is the base URL, so for example,https://collaborate.highq.com/sitepoint/would be 'https://collaborate.highq.com'.
- Site secret key- This is the secret key used to connect to the Hub. Please contact HighQ support for your Instance secret key.
- API client ID- After registering an API client in Collaborate, for Publisher to use, you'll add that API client ID in this field.
- API secret key- The secret key from the API client you've registered with Collaborate.
