Link a project to a Helix Core Server stream

Note

You must be a Helix DAM admin or the project admin to link a project to a stream.
User permissions for assets in linked streams are managed by Helix Core Server. To set permissions for project members, see Authorizing access in Helix Core Server Administrator Guide.

Helix DAM can manage assets held in your existing Helix Core Server streams by linking them to projects in Helix DAM after creating a project. See Create a project. Helix DAM does not support linking for task streams and virtual streams. To learn more, see Streams in Helix Core Visual Client (P4V) Guide.

When you link a project to a mainline stream, the stream is displayed in the Helix DAM project as a repository. You can select which individual streams to show in the project repository. The individual streams are displayed in the repository as collections.

Tip

When linking a stream to a project, it can be useful to view the streams in the Helix Core Visual Client (P4V) on Streams Graph tab. See Stream Graph in the Helix Core Visual Client (P4V) Guide.

Open the project to link a mainline stream to.
Below your avatar, click Link to depots and select Link to stream depot.
On the Set up path tab in the Link to stream dialog box, select the Helix Core depot that the stream to link to is in.

All depots you have permission to view are displayed in the list. Search by typing the depot name to link to in the search box.
Select the Helix Core mainline (mainline stream) to link to.

All streams you have permission to view are displayed in the list. Search by typing the stream name to link to in the search box.
Enter a Helix DAM repository display name for the Helix DAM repository. The name cannot contain any spaces or special characters, but it can contain the minus (-) and underscore (_) characters.
Click Next.
On the Manage streams tab, select the streams (collections) to display in the Helix DAM project repository.

At least one stream must be selected. By default, the mainline stream is selected.
Click Finish.

The repository is added to the project and up to four collections are displayed in the new repository. To see all collections in the repository, click the repository to expand it.
