### Flow Connectors

#### IFS Connector

If you do not have a connector set up, you can see an example [here](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/connectors/database/ifs-apps-10/how-to-guides/configuration).

#### OPC UA Client Connector

You need a functioning connection to an OPC UA server using the OPC UA Client connector. If you do not have a connector set up, you can see an example [here](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/connectors/opc-ua-client/how-to-guides/configure-opc-ua-client-connector).

#### REST Connector - QuickChart

QuickChart is an open-source chart image API for generating chart images, PDFs, and QR Codes.

A REST Connector Project must be set up to utilize QuickChart.

Create a new REST Service Connector named "Quick Chart" and import the configuration file "QuickChart API.ncrcp." For more information see [Import a REST Configuration](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/connectors/rest-connector/how-to-guides/import-a-rest-configuration).

* Enter a Base Address of **<https://quickchart.io>**

Review [QuickChart's Documentation](https://quickchart.io/documentation/) for additional information on how to utilize this service.

### Flow Properties

Before installing the workflows, it is required to create **Global** Flow Properties within Novacura Flow Studio.

#### Flow Text Properties

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>Flow Property</th><th width="249.33333333333331">Example Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Flow Property</strong></td><td><strong>Example Value</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>AppOwner</td><td>ifsapp</td><td>IFS environment application owner (Schema).</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Installation Steps

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure that you have created all connectors and Flow properties before importing the workflows.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Import Workflows

Import workflows in the file "OPC UA Component".

For additional details see [Import Workflows](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/applications/workflow/how-to-guides/import-workflows).

### 2. Setting Menu Roles

Together with the imported workflows, there will also be a menu. Connect the menu to your roles to make them available for users.

For details see [Setting Menu Roles](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/applications/workflow/how-to-guides/setting-menu-roles)

### 3. Publishing Workflows

Within the Server Contents Window right-click on the OPC UA folder and select “Publish”. This process can take a few minutes but once complete, a Publish Successful message will be displayed.

If you receive any errors during the publication of the workflow. Please review the error detail and consult your support contact with the relevant information.

For details see [Publishing Workflows](https://docs.novacura.com/extensibility-and-integration/products/studio/applications/workflow/how-to-guides/publishing-workflows)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novacura.com/marketplace-documentation/components/explore-components/opc-ua-component/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
