Migrate FileCabinet CS data to Onvio Documents
This article provides guidelines to help you migrate your firm's FileCabinet CS data to Onvio. You don’t need to have a current FileCabinet CS license to migrate your drawers and documents.
Before you begin
- Make sure you've completed the preparation steps.
- Make sure you're assigned to a permission group that hasMigrations,Documents tab, andClient Documentsenabled.
- Know that drawers are locked while they are being migrated. Generally, a drawer that includes 30 documents should take 3-5 minutes to be migrated.
Migration steps
- Download the installation file. Skip to step 3 if you're on Virtual Office or Software as a Service. The migration tool is automatically installed for you.
- Locate thefcab_migration_installer-en_us.msifile on your computer, open the file, and follow the steps in the setup wizard to install the FileCabinet CS migration tool.
- In FileCabinet CS, choose .
- In the window that opens, enter your Onvio credentials and selectContinue.
- In theData Locationfield, choose the data location of the drawers to migrate.noteIf you get an error message saying "Cannot select the path", use a UNC path or map the network drive of the data path to the local Administrator account on your machine.
- Use theSelect Allbutton to move all available drawers to the right pane, or choose some drawers in the Drawers available pane and then use the Select button to move drawers to the right pane.
- Optional:in theFocusarea, you can filter the drawers that appear in the Drawers available pane by marking the checkboxes forActive,Inactive,Defunct, orPreviously Migrated Drawers.noteBy default, FileCabinet CS doesn’t show previously migrated drawers in the Drawers available pane. If you choose to migrate a drawer to Onvio that was already migrated, any duplicate files for those clients will be replaced in Onvio.
- Mark the appropriate checkboxes in theOptionsarea. You can use these options together to choose a date range and then choose specific folders that you want to include within the selected date range.
- Export documents from selected folders only.Mark this checkbox to open a window to choose to include all folders in a specified date range or to include specific folders. You can use the Select Folders button to open the window again to make changes before continuing.
- Include Annotations:Mark this checkbox to retain all annotations in the migration process. After migration, annotations become permanent components of their associated documents.
- SelectContinueto begin the migration process.
Conflicts
If any client data you import is similar to but doesn’t exactly match data that already exists in Onvio, it'll be flagged as a conflict. You'll need to decide how to handle those conflicts before the migration is considered complete.
- To view conflicts, selectSetup, thenMigrations in Onvio.
- SelectResolve These Conflictsfrom the banner that will appear when a migration is paused during a conflict.
- For each conflict listed, select the applicable options presented to you.
- SelectSubmitwhen you're finished. You can submit at any time and come back to finish making your selections; you don't need to choose what to do with every conflict at once. However, you can't begin another migration until all conflicts have been addressed.
