Configuring property linking

The property linking described in About linking objects and documents is configured using property filters. Filters determine the relationships between the object numbers in the maintenance management system and Meridian Enterprise documents on the basis of matching property values.

To configure the filters:

In Meridian Enterprise Configurator, on the AMM Configurations page, select the name of the configuration that you want to change from Configuration. The configuration’s current settings appear.
Click the Filters tab. The currently configured filters appear.
Click the Edit button. The options become editable.

To add a new filter:

Click Add. The Filter dialog appears.
Select or enter options as described in the following table.

To edit an existing filter:

Double-click the filter or select the filter and click Modify. The Filter dialog appears.
Select or enter options as described in the following table.

This will usually be the case forMaximo 5.x and 6. This will usually not be the case forMaximo 4.1.1 and other maintenance management systems. If disabled, the Site ID separator and Ignore the Site ID when searching in the Meridian vault options are not used.

If enabled, the Site ID is removed from the argument value before it is used to search in Meridian Enterprise. This option is only used if Use Site ID is enabled.
Site ID separator	Type a separator string to be used when the Site ID is concatenated with object IDs in Meridian Enterprise property values. This option is only used if Use Site ID is enabled.
