04 - Standard & Expected Tweaks

If you are new to working with Universal Migrator, we will personally review your playbook prior to activating the "restore" capabilities for a project.

In your playbook, you should make sure you have scripts that cover everything listed as a Standard Item to Review.

Our team will specifically look to make sure the following items are in your playbook:
  1. All users are mapped to a valid email address in the target system
  2. Any custom fields that should not be transferred are marked as Final_Status = Deleted
  3. Any custom fields that are duplicative should be properly consolidated
  4. If more than 25 document categories exist, they have been consolidated
  5. The Final_Content_FromPath on Document Versions maps to a valid and accessible storage location
In the event that an item has nothing to do, comments should exist in your playbook indicating why the items should not be transferred.
