The Credentials module is where you can create and manage security credentials. These are used for connecting to external sites when transferring water data.

The settings in the Credentials module are used by the WDTF Datasets module and the WaterML Datasets module for extracting and transferring datasets in WDTF or WaterML formats.

See <u>[About Water Information](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WDNC/pages/2053800179)</u> for more details.

- Use the [WDTF Datasets Module](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WDNC/pages/2053800164) to define WDTF datasets and to schedule dataset extracts for transfer to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).
- Use the  [WaterML Datasets Module](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/WDNC/pages/2053800149) to define and extract WaterML datasets.
