A Meridian Portal review package is represented in Meridian Enterprise as a transmittal sheet (Microsoft Excel workbook) with Meridian Enterprise references to the other vault documents that are contained in the review package. The transmittal sheet also contains the document properties that accompany the documents to Meridian Portal.
The selected documents are linked to the transmittal sheet with references of the refM360PackageReference type. You can view these references and use them to navigate to the transmittal sheet as described in View References. The documents are also placed under change by the Meridian360 account in the workflow that is configured for the document type of each document.
Use these steps for PowerWeb.
