Link to Cloud services
The aim of Brainframe is to bring structure to the content that is relevant to your GRC/ISMS/QMS. This does not mean we should re-invent the wheel. Often you already use specific cloud services that are good at what they do, but you want to create a representation of that content inside your Brainframe folder structure. This can be done with our "Link to cloud services" menu under the "New" menu. We support following integration
Asana links
Asana.com is a powerful task manager used in bigger companies. The first time you click on this integration, you will be asked to configure your Asana token that allows Brainframe to search for your Asana tickets (attention, this same token is used by all users of the current workspace). You can create such a token in Asana from here: https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps (Click on "Create new token")
Once the integration is correctly configured, you will be presented with the most recently created tickets in Asana, while also being able to search for tickets.

SharePoint links
SharePoint (part of Microsoft 365) is one of the most used corporate document storage solutions which often contains information you'll need as evidence in your GRC/ISMS/QMS.
To avoid duplicating the document, and risking the content to diverge, we let you create a representation of single documents from SharePoint and structure them in a way that makes sense for your management system.
The first time you click on this integration, you will need to log in with your Microsoft account, and authorise the read only access.
Once the integration is configured, you will be presented by a SharePoint navigation that allows you to search for existing documents. Once you select a document, we'll create a representation of the document inside the current Brainframe folder with a preview.
SharePoint permissions are personal, meaning that any document representation that you create inside Brainframe requires other Brainframe users to also have permissions before they can see the content.
INFO
The nice thing of our SharePoint linking system is that at no point any data is transferred from SharePoint to Brainframe. This means that when SharePoint permissions are removed, the document will remain in Brainframe, but when clicking on the document, SharePoint will tell you that you no longer have access.
CAUTION
Document changes made inside SharePoint will not immediately be visible inside Brainframe. To update the content inside Brainframe, you can use the "Update Document Preview" under the "View more" action menu of the document, where you'll need to select the same document again.
