Linking Projects and Site Databases
When you link a project to a site database, inventory information from that database is available in all Web views of the project that include the Inventory tab. You can link each Vector HelpDesk project to a different site database, or multiple projects to the same site database. You cannot link a project to more than one site database.
By default, a new project is linked to the same site database as its base project.
To link a project to a Vector Asset Management site database:
1 Log on to HelpDesk Web Admin.
2 Click the Inventory tab.
3 In the Project list, click the project in which you want to make inventory information available.
4 If the project is already linked to a site database, click Remove.
5 Click Link to open the Link Site Wizard.
6 Click Next to search the local computer for Vector Asset Managementsite databases.
Vector HelpDesk uses an ActiveX control to detect site databases on your computer. If a Security Warning dialog is displayed, allow Vector HelpDesk to download and install the control.
When the wizard finishes searching the computer, it displays a list of detected sites.
7 Under Detected Sites, click the site you want to link to the project.
If the site you want to link to is not listed under Detected Sites, click Other Sites to manually link to the site.
8 Click Next.
9 Click Finish.
