Creating a briefcases database template
A briefcase database template is used by Meridian to store briefcase metadata in the briefcase.
Note
- This feature is not supported by Meridian 64-bit versions. Document metadata that is created in open standard formats using a Meridian 64-bit version is stored in XML format by default. This format is used because creating Access format files outside of Microsoft Access is not supported by Windows 64-bit versions.
-
To use the Microsoft Access format with 32-bit versions, set the BriefCaseOpenFormat value of the following registry key to .mdb:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\Client\Settings
Without this setting, the template export button is hidden in the following task .
To create a briefcase database template:
- Create a new empty briefcase as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise User’s Guide.
- Click the Export DB Template button
to save the database to a shared location specified in the briefcase template’s definition. - Customize the database by adding forms or properties as required. Properties defined in the database template, but not defined in the briefcase template’s PropertyMappings section, are ignored.
