The vault "bridge" connects the Sage Paperless Construction system to a single Sage 300 data folder. The bridge provides all of the data look-ups and exporting features needed to run the Sage Paperless Construction system. A vault can only be bridged to one data folder. To bridge multiple data folders to Sage Paperless Construction, additional vault license codes must be purchased.
