# Data Flow

**CMMS Integration: Two-Way Synchronization**

Bazefield’s CMMS Integrator supports bi-directional syncing of work orders with third-party CMMS platforms, using a combination of push and pull mechanisms.

**Authentication**

- Token-based authentication via REST APIs
- Tokens are obtained through configurable authentication requests

[**Creating Work Orders from Bazefield**](/product/docs/create-work-orders)

Work orders can be created via:

- Event Operations UI
- Bazefield Services API
- Middleware API (optional)

The request is forwarded to the CMMS, which returns an ExternalId used to link the systems.

**Updating Work Orders in Bazefield**

**Option 1: Push Updates**

- CMMS or middleware sends updates to Bazefield Services API
- Changes are reflected in near real-time in Event Operations
- Requires external system support and network configuration

**Option 2: Scheduled Polling**

- Bazefield polls the CMMS at defined intervals
- Queries for updates since the last sync
- Ideal when push is not supported or network constraints exist

**Importing External Work Orders**

**Option 1: Scheduled Import**

- Bazefield polls for new or updated work orders
- Useful for mirroring a full or partial set of external work orders

**Option 2: On-Demand Import**

- Users search by asset and import relevant work orders manually
- Imported work orders can be linked to events or cases
- Optionally, Bazefield can notify the CMMS to begin syncing updates for the imported work order
