Configuring IDM settings

The main storage of documents and images for Adobe Illustrator plugin and PLM for Fashion is IDM. Setting the IDM enables you to select and synchronize custom document types and other files to use in the IPLMF application.

To manage which document types for each role are applicable to view and save documents, set up the Role permissions for Document Library.

These document types are excluded from the selection given these are already system defined:
  • FPLM Document
  • FPLM Color
  • FPLM Reports
  • FPLM Report Template
