Configuring external pages

The Meridian client applications can display the contents of an external (not Web Access) website page as a property page for a document or folder. This can be useful if additional information about the documents or folders in a vault resides in another information system. That information can be shown together with the Meridian vault data so that users don’t have to access the other system to view the additional data. The external page can be an existing web page of another application or a custom web page you create to query a database and present the information inside Meridian. If the page accepts parameters that specify the information to display, you can calculate those parameter values using VBScript to retrieve and format Meridian document or folder property values.

To configure an external page:

1. In Configurator, expand Pages in the configuration tree to display the existing pages.
2. Select the page for which want to display an external web page and click the Edit button to change the page. To create a new page, see Creating a new property page.
3. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

4. Click the OK button to save your changes.
