Connectors overview
Connectors establish a connection between and external repositories. They bring external data into the user interface and allow it to be viewed and modified in the same fashion as information is commonly processed in . In other words, files in an external repository, such as a network folder, are displayed in like any other objects and they can be edited and enriched with metadata in the same manner as any other information residing in an document vault.

external repositories to objects so that they can be, for
