Cabinets
Cabinets contain the Repository's documents and can be administrated separately by one or more Cabinet Administrators (who may or may not also be Repository Administrators). A Repository may have one or more Cabinets. Each Cabinet is independent of the other. User Groups, that are defined by a Repository Administrator, are assigned by a Cabinet Administrator and granted the necessary level of security. Cabinets serve varying purposes – one may be designated for internal firm documents and another might be used as a client extranet.
A Cabinet Administrator can do the following with a Cabinet:
- Change the Cabinet name & apply a Cabinet logo
- Modify Cabinet security & access
- Designate Cabinet Administrators
- Modify folder settings and access
- Activate custom profile fields
- Define a workspace template
- Configure Echoing across workstations on a LAN
- Calculate Cabinet storage
- Delete the Cabinet
