Setting up Azure Blob Storage Container

Azure Blob Storage needs containers in the storage account, to organize the blobs inside it, it is similiar to a directory in a file system. A storage account can include an unlimited number of containers, and a container can store an unlimited number of blobs. DMS by Simova will automatically create a container when a document is uploaded to the Azure Blob Storage server.

Changing the container name

DMS by Simova have the possibility to change the container name which will be used in Azure Blob Storage, however it is only possible when the container itself is not yet created. The name of the container will be automatically filled in the DMS - Document Library page. It is shown in the Azure Blob Storage group, in the field Container Name. The Container Name will be based on a trimmed document library code field.

The following steps can be done to change the name of the container.

  1. Navigate to DMS - Document Library.
  2. Choose a document library.
  3. Change the Code of the document library.
  4. See the new Container Name in the Azure Blob Storage group under Container Name field.

Warning

The name of the container needs to have a minimum of 3 characters. If the container is already exist in the storage accounts, it is not possible to change the name anymore.
