Dynamic Content
ARDIs Dynamic Content addon is designed to help integrate ARDI systems with 3rd party tools that are highly dynamic - for example, when the data available might change rapidly as new analytics are added.
An external package can provide ARDI with a list of assets, properties and addresses - these properties will be created in ARDI, attached to the specified assets, and new data bindings created.
Benefits vs the ARDI API
Most of this work could be automated using the ARDI API, but there are a few key advantages to this process.
1) The external tool only needs to produce a single JSON output file rather than performing a large number of individual API operations.
2) The external tool won't need to take time out of it's work to perform any synchronisations - these are done on the ARDI server side according to a schedule.
3) Any changes made by the 3rd party application are carefully tracked to handle Conflicts.
4) Changes made are efficiently performed and easily reversed.
