Fields mapped your way
Project fields in CMap, standard or custom, link to OpenAsset fields and keyword mappings. Those mappings can include project team details, so imagery can be found by the people and firms behind the work where you set it up that way.

Project imagery in CMap
The project's OpenAsset imagery is pulled back and displayed on the CMap project details page, with a link through to the project in OpenAsset. Your existing CMap security groups govern which projects a user can open in the first place.
Why it matters
Your project data, straight into your image library.
CMap is the system of record for project data; OpenAsset stays home to your imagery. This integration keeps them in step, automatically.
A library that keeps itself current
New and updated projects appear in OpenAsset automatically, from creation in CMap or from the point the work is won, with no marketing re-keying.
Searchable on your own data
Your field and keyword mappings carry CMap project data across, and where those mappings include project team details, bid teams can pull imagery linked to the people and firms involved.
Imagery where decisions happen
Project managers and bid teams see project photography inside CMap, without switching systems.
Set up once, runs itself
The sync is event-driven and automatic in the background. There are no batch jobs to remember to run.
getting set up

Connect your OpenAsset site
CMap sets up the secure connection to your OpenAsset site for you.
Map your fields
Your admins map OpenAsset fields and keyword categories to CMap project fields, standard or custom, from a single Admin screen.
Let it run
The sync runs automatically in the background. Choose whether projects flow across when they are created in CMap, or only once the work is won.
Frequently asked questions
Who builds and supports the OpenAsset integration?
It is a core CMap integration: built, supported and maintained by CMap, with no third-party middleware.
Which CMap editions include the OpenAsset integration?
The OpenAsset integration is a core integration on the CMap AEC edition.
When does a project sync across to OpenAsset?
You choose. The sync can run from the moment a project is created in CMap, or only once the work is won. Either way it is event-driven and automatic, so there are no batch jobs to remember to run.
What project information syncs to OpenAsset?
Project fields in CMap, standard or custom, link to OpenAsset fields and keyword mappings. Your admins decide which CMap field maps where from a single Admin screen, and those keyword mappings can include project team details where that suits how you search.
How are CMap and OpenAsset projects linked?
Projects are linked automatically by project code and name. CMap creates or updates the matching OpenAsset project from project creation or from win, whichever you configure.
Does CMap upload, delete or archive anything in OpenAsset?
No. The push is one-way. CMap never deletes or archives OpenAsset projects and never uploads files. OpenAsset stays home to your imagery.
Does CMap integrate with OpenAsset?
Yes. CMap's off-the-shelf OpenAsset integration keeps your digital asset library in step with your project work. Project details flow into OpenAsset automatically, and the project's imagery flows back to the CMap project page.
