What are sources?
Mappings let you link any source system (e.g. an e-mail application or ERP system) with a d.3 repository.
A source system can specify multiple sources, such as e-mails and attachments. The sources describe an item with specific properties and categories in the source system.
In the context of the Groupware app, sources are items to be processed, such as e-mails or attachments. The app identifies the properties of the source (e.g. sender, subject or recipient) and generates the document file to be stored.
You can use a mapping to link the properties of a source with specific d.3 property fields (repository fields). You can define your own sources for mappings.
You can also further classify the sources by creating categories. The categories are independent of the categories (document types) in the d.3 repository.
The e-mail integrations and d.ecs content crawler provide you with default sources for creating mappings:
Standard - Microsoft Exchange e-mail
Standard - Microsoft Exchange attachment
Standard - Microsoft Exchange journal e-mail
Standard - IBM Notes e-mail
Standard - IBM Notes attachment
Standard - IBM Notes journal e-mail
Standard - appointment/meeting
