Make your Occtoo content available through Pickit.
Bring media and its descriptive information into Pickit so your team can find material from your Occtoo source. Import new assets and schedule updates to the information you choose to carry across.
How the Occtoo connection works
- Direction
- Configured Occtoo source → Pickit.
- Output
- New assets and updated information on previously imported assets.
- Execution
- Manual runs or server schedules: daily, weekly or monthly. Schedules can be paused.
Setup & practical details
- Requirements
- Occtoo enabled for the Pickit organization, administrator access, source endpoint and credentials, and accessible source file URLs.
From source information to findable content.
Bring descriptive information with the files.
Choose which Occtoo information becomes asset names, tags or properties in Pickit. You can also assign files to existing libraries and collections.
A preview shows how that information will appear before you import.
Preview the mapping before you import.
Scan source records, validate the setup and preview the result before bringing in new assets.
Each new asset needs an accessible source file URL and a stable source identity. Later runs use that identity within the configured connection to match imported records.
Run now or set a server schedule.
Start a manual run or schedule processing daily, weekly or monthly. Pause a schedule when the connection needs attention.
Occtoo processing runs on the server. Review run history, progress and errors to see what was imported, updated or could not be processed.
Choose which information the source maintains.
Later runs update the selected information on previously imported assets. They do not replace the underlying file or mirror all source deletions. Plan file replacement and retirement separately.
Files already downloaded or inserted into other work remain separate copies.
Properties
Values supplied by the source overwrite the same properties in Pickit. Other property values are retained.
Libraries and collections
Nonempty source assignments can replace existing library or collection memberships. If no assignments are supplied, existing memberships remain.
- 01
Connect and map

Schedule and review
Choose manual or server-scheduled runs and use run history to follow results and resolve errors.
A few useful answers.
Does Pickit need to stay open for scheduled runs?
Occtoo uses a server scheduler. A scheduled run does not depend on keeping a Pickit browser session open.
Does this connect every upstream DAM or PIM?
The connection uses the configured Occtoo source. Available upstream records, fields and accessible file URLs depend on that source setup.
Start with the source you already maintain.
