    • FTP: The source connects through a customized file.

  • Source Code: Automatically generated  unique identifier for tracking and auditing the source
  • Primary Source: Flags whether this is the main source for the chosen context
  • Primary Language: Set the default language for the primary source’s property content.



Step 3: Source Category Configuration (Optional)

  • Purpose: Defines the collection rules for the source data.
    • If Basic Information is selected, the system will collect data from the source.
    • Otherwise, the source data will not be collected.
  • Configuration Flexibility:
    • This step is optional during source creation.
    • You can configure this later, either on this page or via the Category Field List page.
