Viewing related packages

Meridian vault documents can be published to Meridian Explorer repositories for viewing by other users in the Meridian Explorer web application. Meridian Explorer users can also export the documents (if the repository is configured to do so by a system administrator) to export packages for use by business partners.

Conversely, Meridian Explorer users can import documents into the Meridian Enterprise vault with import packages.

Meridian keeps track of all these relationships so that you don't have to. From within PowerUser or Meridian Power, you can easily see the names of the export packages and import packages that contain a selected document.

Note    
  • This feature must be enabled in the vault by a system administrator.
  • The dates shown for import package in Meridian Power and Meridian Explorer are shown in GMT format. In PowerUser the are converted to the local time zone.
