Link Workspace

Overview

Link Workspace allows you to import existing workspaces from your DMS to CAM so that the workspaces can be managed by CAM going forward.   

There are several methods available for linking workspaces, including:

  • Configure a Link Workspaces form, then launch the configured form from the Jobs tab, fill out the details, and submit the job.

  • Configure a CSV with the parameters to perform a Link Workspace job, then manually upload the CSV from the Jobs tab to submit the job.

  • Configure a Link Workspace SQL script for use with Data Uploader, then run or schedule the job.
