Change the default PWDM storage folder paths at the project creation stage

As an PW administrator, we’ve observed that Deliverables Management comes with default paths for storing transmittals, which unfortunately do not align with our existing folder structure. See the screenshot attached

Practical use of functionality?

At Mott Mac Donald we use PowerShell scripts to help automate the project creation process. (We are happy that the new infrastructure cloud cmdlets have just been released 😊).

Do you know if it is possible to change the default DM storage folder paths, as part of existing PowerShell commands/ at the project creation stage. Or would the change to the DM storage file paths have to be changed manually, once the project has been created?

For example, on the image of the folder structure shared by me, we would like to configure the folder path locations for new projects to point to the 7. Transmittal folder when new projects are created. See the script attached. . .

What is the impact of not doing this?

default paths for storing transmittals, unfortunately do not align with our existing folder structure. To address this, I’d like to configure the transmittal storage paths during project creation

    If the cmdlets allow you to choose a template project from which the settings can be copied during project creation, then choosing a project with PWDM storage setup as you want should copy the storage paths for you.
