Link Folders To Meridian Portal

You can link Meridian Enterprise folders to Meridian Portal projects in these ways:

Meridian folders can be linked to a Meridian Portal project only when:

The Meridian folder is a folder type that has its Can be linked to Meridian Portal projects option enabled in the vault configuration.

For information about your vault configuration, ask a System Administrator.
Documents in the folder are not already linked to a different Meridian Portal folder.
The Meridian Portal project that you want to link to is a Standard Project type project. Packages Only type projects cannot be linked to Meridian Enterprise.

Note:

To perform this task, you must be a member of a group that is assigned to the Document Controller, Project Owner, or Tenant Administrator role that is assigned to the parent folder.
If multiple vaults are connected to a single Meridian Portal tenancy, the vault project number must be unique among all of the vaults in order to ensure that when documents are returned from Meridian Portal, they are imported into the correct vault. The Meridian vault property that contains the project number is configured as described in Create an Import Profile.
