CampusLink Ambassador

This screen enables you to select the actions to be taken by Installation Manager (e.g., install, uninstall) and to specify the machine name, database, and destination directory for the CampusLink Ambassador (CLA) client tools. The Ambassador Integration WCF Service is installed and configured on the selected machine.

The CLA client tools provide customized integration between Anthology Student and the Ambassador College Books (ACB) application. The ACB application streamlines the book ordering and fulfillment process. CLA enables student information to be automatically sent to ACB and allows all student purchases through ACB systems to appear in the Anthology Student transaction ledger.
