Enhanced Filter Page
New Select filter page is added and the main purpose of select filter page is to reduce the number of document being displayed. It allows you to filter the documents based on the below criteria.
• Filter based on documents created/ modified time
• The object type
• The previously migrated content
Temp Space Requirement
You can get the minimum temporary space required by UMT for document migration in the summary page.
Document Instance selection
While selecting the Importing Pending/recurrence Instances option in Object select page, you can choose the only pending/recurrence instances to migrate and you can ignore the older instances. It will help you to avoid unwanted / old completed instances in your migrated system.
Enhanced Log Page
On the log on page there is an option to Save credentials for future usage. By checking this option system saves the CMS user name and BIAR location. Henceforth, when you log on to UMT, by default the CMS username and BIAR location are populated with the saved information.
