# Set up Bouwsoft

Connect **OutSmart** to **Bouwsoft** before you configure any import or export options.

You need an active integration license and access to your Bouwsoft account.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Software integrations

Go to **Settings → General → Software integrations**.

Open **Bouwsoft**.

Open **Settings**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start the connection

If the connection is not active yet, OutSmart opens the Bouwsoft login flow.

You are redirected to the Bouwsoft login page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Sign in to Bouwsoft

Log in with your Bouwsoft credentials.

Bouwsoft then returns you to OutSmart with a secure access token.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check the connection

After a successful login, the settings page opens again.

Check the **Connection** section.

The connection date should be visible there.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the administration

Select the administration you want to sync.

Work orders export to this administration.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure import and export

Choose which data OutSmart should import.

Then choose how completed work orders should export.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the setup

Click **Save**.

Your connection and sync settings are then stored.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Before you save

Check these points first:

* the integration is active in the **License Manager**
* the correct administration is selected
* the import and export options match your process

### Frequently asked questions

<details>

<summary>Can I connect more than one Bouwsoft administration?</summary>

No.

The integration works with one administration at a time.

If you want to switch, disconnect first.

Then connect again and choose the other administration.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens if I disconnect the integration?</summary>

The sync stops.

Existing data in OutSmart stays in place.

No new data syncs until you reconnect.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens when the access token expires?</summary>

OutSmart first tries to refresh the token automatically.

If that also fails, disconnect and connect again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I know the connection works?</summary>

Check the connection date on the settings page.

Also review the log panel for recent sync activity.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/integrations/integrations/bouwsoft/set-up-bouwsoft.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
