Specify Collection Name
The screen lets you name (or rename) the defined collection. You can also assign a Label to this collection to help organize multiple collections by a classification scheme of your own design This screen also sets the visibility of this collection and, optionally, attaches supplemental descriptive text about the collection.
-
Collection name: The name by which this collection is shown in drop-down lists and tables in Notes Migration Manager and elsewhere in Migrator for Notes to Exchange.
-
Label (optional): Select a Label for this collection from the drop-down list or type a new Label name into the text box to create a Label definition.
Labels are an arbitrary device for classifying and grouping collections. For example, you could define labels for Engineering, IS, Marketing, R&D, Sales, and so on, for group collections based on the divisions in an organization. Or you could define labels for Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Memphis, Minneapolis, Toronto, and so on, to group collections using the geographic locations of offices. Within Notes Migration Manager, you can sort lists and tables of collections by label or you can specify a label to filter a list of collections to show only the collections that were assigned that label.
-
Visible: Check box that determines whether this collection appears in other lists of collections elsewhere in Migrator for Notes to Exchange. (Migrator for Notes to Exchange’s provisioning, migration and other features are applied to particular collections, which are specified from drop-down lists or tables.)
-
Description (optional): Enter a text description of the collection. The contents of this field will appear in tables of selections within Notes Migration Manager.
Enter the requested information, and click Next.
Choose Member Selection Method
This screen asks you to specify which of two methods to use to define the “first draft” member set of the collection. Later screens let you edit the member contents of the collection. The two options are:
-
Find members by searching the directory: Lets you specify the search criteria for selecting objects from the SQL database to add to the member set for this collection. The search criteria is defined with respect to one or more specified attribute values.
-
Import members from a .tsv file: Lets you import the contents of a .tsv (tab-separated-values format) file to define the “first draft” member set of this collection. The .tsv file must contain the NMEObjectGUID column which is used as a key to associate users with a collection. One way to create a .tsv as a starting point is to export another collection to a .tsv file.
Choose the method by which you want to define the “first draft” member set, and click Next.
Add Members
This screen lets you specify the search criteria for selecting objects from the SQL database to add members to this collection. Regardless of how you define the addition of collection members from the database, the next screen lets you (optionally) import additional members from a .tsv (tab-separated-values format) file.
The search criteria are defined with respect to one or more specified Attribute values. If you define multiple criteria, they are applied in an AND fashion, as multiple filters (an object must satisfy all criteria to be included as a member in the collection).
To add members to the collection from the SQL database:
-
Specify the Attribute, Condition, and Value that define the criterion that objects must satisfy to be included as members in the collection.
-
Click Add to add the criterion to the list of Conditions.
-
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to define multiple selection criteria. Multiple criteria are applied in an AND fashion as multiple filters (an object must satisfy all criteria to be included as a member in the collection).
-
To remove a criterion from the list of Conditions, select the line you want to remove, and click Remove.
-
When the list of Conditions appears as you want it, click Find Now to perform the search in the SQL database.
The selected objects appear in the Search Results table.
Note: The Find Now function will replace any results that may already appear in the Search Results table.
To clear the Search Results table (to start over adding members):
To interrupt and end a search in progress (after clicking Find Now):
To save the collection member set:
-
If you want the member set to include only some objects in the Search Results table, select the objects you want to include and click OK.
-
If you want the member set to include all the objects in the Search Results table, leave all objects unselected and click OK.
