Application Integration
Application Integration is the name of the Meridian client components that provide:
-
Batch document upload/download functionality in addition to single document transfers
-
Site cache connectivity and local workspace management
-
Links with standard Windows applications
It is optional for users who need the benefits above. Users who do not need those features do not need to install Application Integration.
Application Integration is designed to help you find documents, open them for editing, save them, and route them in workflows all from within the applications where you create and edit documents.

When Application Integration is installed on your computer and you select any commands such as
-
The Application Integration window.
-
A standard Windows file dialog box with the Meridian vault button in the toolbar. If you click the vault button, the Application Integration window appears.
Microsoft Word ignores any selection you make from the Files of type list in the Application Integration window. If you want to save a Word file as a different file type, select the file type from the Save as type list in the Word Save As dialog box first before you click on the Meridian vault button in the toolbar to save the document in the vault.
The Application Integration window can be opened from within any application that uses standard Windows file browser dialogs (and can therefore display the vault button) for its commands.
