Origins are a way of importing records into Content Manager automatically and without user intervention by using your own application created using the Content Manager Software Development Kit (SDK). You can also use origins for recording parameters and providing an audit trail for these imports. An origin is required by the Content Manager SDK to import records and Locations to Content Manager, using the BulkLoader class.

Content Manager also uses it to determine a policy for automatically capturing records using ControlPoint.

You can use the Content Manager ribbon Manage - Records - Origins to create origins. However, it is possible to create the origin object using solely the Content Manager SDK, so creating it using the Content Manager client is optional.

After having imported records or Locations to Content Manager, you can use the Content Manager client to audit the import operations associated with that origin - see Working with origins

For more information, please refer to the SDK developer’s guide for bulk loading.
