Importing documents

Importing in a document with Application Integration happens when you have a file open in a Windows application that does not reside in the vault, you use the Save or Save As command, and complete the action using the Application Integration dialog. Importing a document with Application Integration performs the following actions:

• Saves the file in your Local Workspace
• Starts the Add Wizard to import the document to the vault

To import a document with Application Integration:

1. From within the Windows application with the document open, on the File menu select Save or Save As. By default, the Application Integration dialog appears as shown in Working with documents in Application Integration. A file filter is applied to the Application Integration document list pane to show only those files that match the current value of File Name. To see the existing documents in the vault, click the Show Files button . To apply a different file filter, select a different filter from the list.

2. Browse to the location in the vault where you want to import the document.
3. Enter a name for the document in File Name and click Save. The ImandrA Add Wizard appears. Continue as described in Importing documents into ImandrA.
4. Close the document in the Windows application. The document is not checked out to you, it is read-only, and any changes that you make will not be saved in the vault.

You may continue to work on the document after you check it out as described in Checking out documents.
