Mapping Process in ENOVIA Collaboration for Microsoft Client and ENOVIA Vault

Mapping between what is seen in ENOVIA Collaboration for Microsoft client and ENOVIA Vault is based on the menus and commands defined in ENOVIA.

The ENOVIA menu is the entry point to the integration when the user browses ENOVIA objects in ENOVIA Collaboration for Microsoft. When the user logs into ENOVIA, the menus/commands defined in the ENOVIA menu appears.

When a command is clicked the following information is obtained from the command admin object to display the next level:


  • The label attribute in the command provides the language specific value to be displayed in the CSE.
  • For obtaining the list of objects to be displayed the program or inquiry is executed. This detail is provided in the HREF attribute of the command.
  • Only a JPO or Inquiry can be specified not both.
  • For JPO the JPO name and function name of the JPO needs to be provided in the following format JPO Name: Function Name (see examples below).
  • In Inquiry is used the Inquiry name needs to be specified (see examples below).
  • The columns and the values to be displayed for this object list is obtained by using configuring tables mentioned in the HREF attribute of the command.

  • This command appears only to those users who meet the assignments specified in the command Access.

    For example: Role = Office User OR User = All or Role = Project User.
