# Connecting to Genesys

The **Genesys provider** in **PADS4** allows you to connect to a **Genesys WSDL web service** to retrieve data for **real-time digital signage integration**.

***

## **Steps to Add/Modify a Genesys Connection in PADS4**

### **1. Start the Data Provider Wizard**

* Open the **Data Provider Wizard** using the steps in **Adding a Data Provider** or **Editing a Data Provider**.
* Select **Genesys** as the **provider type**.

### **2. Configure the Genesys Connection**

* **Enter the Genesys Server URL** (e.g., `https://yourgenesysserver.com/wsdl`).
* **Authentication (if required):**
  * Enter the **username** and **password** if the Genesys web service requires login credentials.
* **Proxy Settings (if needed):**
  * Configure a **proxy server** if your network setup requires it.

Click **Next** to proceed.

***

### **3. Configure Genesys Service Settings**

* Review **service settings** based on your **Genesys documentation**.
* Select the **relevant data endpoints** to retrieve information.

Click **Next** to continue.

***

### **4. Complete the Wizard**

* Click **Finish** to finalize the Genesys connection.
* The **PADS4 Viewer** will now retrieve **real-time data** from the Genesys web service.

***

## **Important Considerations**

* **Ensure Correct Authentication:**
  * If credentials are required, make sure you **have the correct access rights** for the Genesys API.
* **PADS4 Data Server Access:**
  * If using a **PADS4 Data Server**, the Genesys service **must be accessible** from the **server's location**.
  * If **not using a Data Server**, ensure that each **PADS4 Designer and Viewer** has **internet access** to the **Genesys web service**.
* **Follow Genesys API Documentation:**
  * Some data fields may require **custom query parameters** or **specific API calls**.
  * Refer to **Genesys documentation** for detailed integration instructions.

By following these steps, you can **successfully integrate Genesys data** into your **PADS4 digital signage presentations**.
