<table><thead><tr><th>Credential</th><th data-type="checkbox">Required</th><th>Note</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="#building-your-url">URL</a></td><td>true</td><td>A standard form of URL is expected, with minor changes for your own company. </td></tr></tbody></table>

## Obtaining credentials

The credentials listed above are needed so that Patchworks can access the required data in **Khaos Control**. To obtain these details, follow the steps below.

### Building Your URL

The base URL is in the form:

```

You need to update some elements of this URL, as summarised below:

| URL Element  | Required Value                                                  | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                      |
