Models are used as the security layer protecting your data and tying all ODataLink functionality together.
Each model has a unique Model Code which forms part of the OData Feed URLs.
Models are used to control:
- to which data files users will have access;
- to which endpoints users will have access;
- and secure which IP Addresses are valid to access this data;
We recommend you create a new model each time these requirements differ.
Examples
You could create different models for Accounts Receivables, Accounts Payables or Payroll staff. Doing so would ensure that sales staff cannot see sensitive payroll information.
