### Required Permissions

Only users who are assigned a Role with Integrations Management permissions can connect partner integrations. See [Edit Dairy User Permissions](docId\:dgKiJJMfdmpDvWGygh_P2) and [Manage Dairy Roles](docId\:tklz3_ROmKlipE8l-rFi6) for more information.

Follow these steps to configure and integrate Alta BlueLink with VAS and provide consultants view-only access to your herd data in PULSE.

## Step 1: Add Animal Parentage Data

For the most accurate and comprehensive herd analysis, be sure to add parentage details for the animals in your herd. VAS recommends adding the data for all animals for the following standard PULSE/DairyComp 305 items: 

- Sire (SID)
- Dam (DID)
- Maternal grandsire (MGS)
- Maternal great-grandsire (MGGS)

This data is used to assess the herd's genomic profile and is the basis of calculations made for specific animal traits and potential improvements.

The breed average is also incorporated into the assessment calculations, but having specific parentage data for the animals in your herd greatly increases the accuracy of the analysis process:

See [View Animal Details on CowCards](docId\:aXmnESlp3JZDTmXUhwV96) to learn more about viewing and adding animal item data.

## Step 3: Work with Your Genetics Consultant to Build a Genetic Plan

Once the data connection is active, your genetic consultant will contact you to begin reviewing your herd's genomic data and analyzing options to improve specific genomic traits of your herd. You will work together to customize and implement the plan, which includes sire selection and animal mating recommendations based on your genetic goals.
