Dockit for SharePoint v9.0.5940.34393

A new major version of Dockit has been released recently with redesigned UI, OneDrive

for Business support and the following enhancements:

All New Contemporary User Interface Dockit Main Window appearance has been modified completely for products unified

approach. The tool bar in main window contains a brand new Ribbon control to ease the

usage of menus followed by the list view of the tasks created and the task history

instances of the respective Dockit tasks.

Home

You can create / manage the tasks using the options available in Home menu.

Tools

Dockit tools allows you to extract the list items' URL for a given SharePoint List along

with the associated metadata and basic set of file properties to create an external

metadata file to utilize it in Dockit tasks. You can view ‘Usage Statistics’ information

under the Tools Menu.

View

Dockit allows you to sort tasks using ‘Sort Task by’ option and move tasks from one

category to another category using “Move Task(s) to“ option.

Help

You can access the help section of respective Dockit features under Help->Help Contents. You can view the Dockit version and license information under Help -

>‘About Dockit’ section.

Task List Pane Task list pane displays the tasks in list view with task Created Date, Modified Date, Total Items Processed and Total Data Transferred information for the corresponding

Dockit task. You can view the task settings of the Dockit tasks by clicking the gear

icon ( ) available under the Settings column in task list pane.

Task History pane Task History pane displays the Total statistics with source, success, ignored and

error items for each task Instances. We have enhanced Total statistics to show folder and item information separately.

Categorize Import Tasks Introduced Category Manager to group migration tasks with color-coding for easy

identification of tasks. You can create the desired categories in the Manage Categories

-->Task Categories dialog as shown below and use ‘Move Task(s) to’ option available

in View menu to move tasks under the desired categories.

The list of categories and the tasks will be displayed in the task list pane as shown below:

Reimport Failed Items

We have introduced Retry ( ) option in the Task History pane for the latest failed

task history instance to provide the user the ability to reimport the failed or

unprocessed items.

When you click Retry button, a Retry dialog (as shown below) will be displayed with

the list of failed items/folders that are failed to migrate.

Migrate content to OneDrive for Business OneDrive makes sure you always have all your important content on all your devices and enables multiple people to collaborate and co-author a single document at the

same time. Gone are the days of not having that document right when you need it or managing multiple versions of the same document. In order to facilitate this

availability, we have included a new Migrate content to OneDrive for Business task option to migrate contents from file servers, network file shares, local computer and

user's personal drives to OneDrive for Business seamlessly.

‘Migrate content to OneDrive for Business’ task option has detailed provision to

migrate contents of the following user accounts to OneDrive, as stated below:

a) Specific user account

Allows the individual user of the application to migrate his/her contents to their

respective OneDrive storage. Using this option, any user can migrate their contents

to his/her OneDrive location.

b) Select set of user accounts

Allows the *user account* to migrate user folder contents for a set of users to

migrate their contents to their respective OneDrive storage. Using this option, a

single user using the application can group a set of users and migrate their contents.

c) All users in the personal site collection

Allows the *user account* to migrate user folder contents of ALL users to migrate

their contents to their respective OneDrive storage. Using this option, a single user

account can group a set of users and migrate their contents.

It also includes the following task options (Explorer / Batch File mode) to migrate

contents to OneDrive:

Vyapin’s Sandbox Solution We have introduced a ‘Sandbox Solution’ (which is equivalent to Dockit web service)

that allows you to update SharePoint default columns like Created Date, Created By,

Modified Date, Modified By, Approval Status and Approver Comments when

migrating contents to SharePoint Online in Office 365 seamlessly. The sandbox

solution also optimizes the migration to SharePoint Online platform in certain

migration scenarios.

To activate the Sandbox solution, you can use the WSP file [Vyapin.SandBox.wsp]

available in Dockit product installation package.

You can refer Page 9 in the product installation guide to know more about how to

activate the sandbox solution in SharePoint Online.

Column Mapping We have simplified the Column Mapping feature in Dockit v9.0 by creating a new

Column Mapping step in Dockit task wizard. Using this Column Mapping step, you

can seamlessly map the File Properties, Custom Properties (File Properties apart

from Pre-defined file properties in Dockit), Metadata file (Metadata File Columns),

Use Function (Function Builder) under Source Column section as shown below.

DocKIT will now read the custom document properties from the source file

(regardless of the document format) and assign them to the respective columns in

SharePoint. This feature will eliminate the need to extract all metadata from

document properties of all file formats that are added in the Items to Import step

using external methods and store them in the metadata file (to be used in the

migration task).

In case, if there is any error in assigning the source column values to the target

SharePoint columns, Dockit will assign the alternate value (specified in Default value section) as shown below to the target SharePoint columns. This feature will avoid the

partial migration of contents without metadata.

Perform Incremental Migration We have moved the Incremental Migration options from Import Conditions step (in

DocKIT v8.7) to Items to Import step in Dockit v9.0 and simplified the feature with

new date range options to seamlessly migrate only the newly added/modified

contents. To perform incremental migration, you can select the desired option under

Incremental Migration section in “Items to Import” step as shown below:

You can identify the Dockit tasks that you have created to perform Incremental

Migration using the delta icon ( ) in the Task Manager window.

Other enhancements Enhanced to delete, change folder traversal option as part of the Items to

import step, thereby avoiding multiple clicks to modify it inside in Select

items to import dialog.

Renaming Rules moved to “Items to Import” Step. Enabled Finish button in all steps during editing of task to quickly save the

task after changing few settings. Provision to view Pre-migration validation last run result by using run View

Results button. Provision to define folder condition for the folder levels (Import Condition

step).
