What is PortalData Export?
Based on the event added to a package/shipment, PortalData can be configured to trigger an export.
In the background, all events are filtered and if one matches an Export Profile then the attached Gateway is triggered with the wanted data.
The criteria for a match can be anything found on a shipment. E.g InstallationId, Event Types, or even Shipment specific data
An export can be triggered when an event is added, or at an interval.
Interval is normally used if one needs to summarize information based on the period of the interval. Max 24 hours
