Migrator for Notes to SharePoint 7.1 - User Guide

Site Columns tab

This tab allows you to define the columns for the Content Type. Any site columns that do not already exist in the target site will be created during the provisioning of the Content Type. Then the new or existing site columns will be added to the target content type.

If a Content Type column already exists with the same name and has the same properties, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will use it rather than creating a new one.

If a Content Type column already exists with the same name and has minor differences in properties, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will use it and a warning will be issued.

If a Content Type column already exists with the same name but the Type is different, an exception will be issued.

If a Content Type column does not exist, but a Site column with the same name, type and properties already exists, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will add it to the Content Type definition.

If the column has Is Title Field set to true, the current Title column will be renamed in the Content Type definition.

If a Site column already exists on the target site that has the same name but the Type is different, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will create a new Site column and add it to the Content Type definition.

Otherwise a new Site column will be created and it will be added to the Content Type definition as well.

SharePoint Targets

The SharePoint Targets node allows you to navigate all available SharePoint sites and view any existing Lists and Libraries. The sites that you see here depend on your SharePoint configuration (see SharePoint tab ).

An addition to displaying your existing sites and content, Migrator for Notes to SharePoint will also indicate any planned future sites and content that you have entered into the tool. The planned sites are displayed with a green plus icon.

Based on the Migration Plan you set up, a preview of the planned SharePoint sites is displayed under the SharePoint Targets node. These planned sites may have been manually added using the Add Sub-Site action (see Add sub-site ), may have been added while specifying the Migration Targets tab for a particular database, or may have been assigned automatically based on database classes (see Auto Target tab ).

Both planned and existing sites and subsites are displayed. The sites that are planned and do not actually exist are displayed with a green plus sign icon. Each planned site has a detailed set of Plan a new SharePoint subsite that may be edited by selecting the Properties action.
