Creating an Asite DataSource

Use the Sources Manager Tree or the Project Configuration dialogue to Create or Edit a new Asite DataSource

Configuring the Asite DataSource

To setup an Asite DataSource:

• Enter the Server Api Url, this is the url of the login service to the Asite server, by default htttps://dms.asite.com/apilogin/

• Enter your login which is the same as the one you normally use to connect to Asite, most likely your email address
• Enter your password, again the same as the one you normally use to connect to Asite

To check that you have enter the right information you can click the Login button.

Configuring the Asite DataView(s)

You can load several DataViews from the same server either from different workspaces or different folders within the same workspace. To create a new DataView, from the DataSource Configuration dialogue click the New DataView button. Refer to the section Configuring aDataView  for more ways to create and edit DataViews.

Asite DataView configuration requires 3 fields:

• The Workspace Name which is the name of the project as displayed on Asite. If you don't know it, or to avoid typo, you can click the browse button to get a list of workspaces that you have access to on Asite.
• The Folder Path which is the path to the folder for which you want to see documents. It is recommended that you narrow down the path to the lowest possible folder, as the query to get document information can be quite slow.

• With the Include Sub Folders option, you can specify whether you want the documents from the folder you have specified only, or from all its sub folders as well.

Downloading Documents

You can download Asite document from BimSens by applying a Layout to the view and setting the field 'DownloadName' to hyperlink. Clicking the link will then download the document and open the preview in your default software for the document file format.
