Connect Aris with external DMS

Hi,

I recently answered a similar question: https://www.ariscommunity.com/comment/27148#comment-27148

Bottom line: If you want to link to external sources the classical way is to use the attribute types "Link 1" and "Title 1" (or 2, 3, 4). Typically you use them on the "Information carrier" object type (a multitude of symbols is available for that object type, the most prominent one for this use-case is "Document"). The information carrier object becomes the central representative of the document in your repository. It will be the single place where you maintain the link to the document in your DMS. Then you use occurrences of the object in your models where-ever you want to refer to that document.

The same principle applies when you use ARIS document storage as your DMS. In that case there are different attribute types "ARIS document storage link 1" (2, 3, 4) which support selecting resources from ADS and uploading documents to ADS.

There is an adapter for Microsoft Sharepoint (TM) available by which Sharepoint becomes an additional storage backend for ADS and you use it the same way as ADS.
