The Document Locator Optional SharePoint Connector supports seamless integration of enterprise-class document management within SharePoint without the need for custom development. The combination extends the availability of Document Locator to SharePoint users, establishing an advanced enterprise repository for document management that is accessible from portal sites. Users can access Document Locator repositories along with other business applications and document libraries from a single, convenient interface.

SharePoint and Document Locator combine to create a functional Web-portal solution with advanced document management capabilities.

• Access Document Locator’s functions via the Microsoft SharePoint interface on corporate intranets and extranets.
• Leverage Microsoft SharePoint investment for added document management, records management, document imaging, workflow and collaboration capabilities.
• Incorporate Document Locator access from a single interface with other business applications and document libraries.
• View combined Document Locator and SharePoint search results from a single search function.

SharePoint Document Management Connector Options

The SharePoint document management connector supports integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in three ways:

SharePoint Document Management Web Part*

The SharePoint Document Management Web Part allows you to place a portlet on any SharePoint page for integrated access to Document Locator. Using the SharePoint Web Part, users can browse repository files and perform most document management functions, including:

• Display and access all documents in repositories.
• Display a project's folder hierarchy, allowing users to navigate into the folder structure.
• Display “saved search,” allowing search result views to be customized to a portal’s audience.

Federated SharePoint Search

Combines search results from Document Locator with SharePoint so that a single search will return results from both SharePoint document libraries and Document Locator repositories.

SharePoint Document Management Repository

Allows users to collaborate on documents in their native SharePoint environment and then reassign them to Document Locator for management in the enterprise repository.

* Requires optional WebTools or WebView Module.
