8.4 Creating Content Folders
You can add content folders to the integration hierarchy in much the same way as you add folders on your local computer:
1.
Open Windows Explorer or your e-mail application, and make sure the folders pane is visible see
Section 6.9, Showing or Hiding the Folders Pane .
2. Expand the Oracle Content Servers node. If you do not see this node in your
e-mail application, enable it first see Section 5.6, Showing or Hiding the Oracle
Content Servers Hierarchy .
3.
Click the server on which you want to create a new content folder. If prompted, log in by entering your user name and password for that server.
4.
Browse to the location in the integration hierarchy where you want to add the new content folder. For Oracle Content Server instances, you can add folders only
under Contribution Folders or Content Server Folders.
5.
Move the mouse cursor to an unused area in the content pane that is, away from any of the items listed in it, right-click, and choose New Folder or New Project if
you are adding a project folder.
6.
Provide the name of the new folder and press Enter.
7.
The new folder is created, and its folder information page is displayed in the preview pane. If you do not see this pane, turn it on see
Section 6.8, Showing or Hiding the Preview Pane
.
Considerations
■
When you add a new content folder, default metadata and settings are applied to that folder as defined by the content server administrator. You can change the
default metadata for the folder while adding the new folder, or any time after you add it. For more information, see
Section 8.11.2, Viewing and Modifying Content Information of Folders or Files.
■
When you add files to the new folder, they inherit default metadata from the folder.
8.5 Creating New Content Files
Creating a new, managed content file basically consists of copying or saving a file to a content server. This checks the file in to the server as a new content item and makes it
available to other users on the server in accordance with their assigned access privileges. There are various ways to upload a file to a server and check it in as a new
content item:
Windows Explorer
■
Copy and paste a file from your local computer to a folder on a content server. For more information, see
Section 8.13, Copying Content Folders and Files.
■
Drag and drop a file from your local computer to a folder on a content server. For more information, see
Section 8.13, Copying Content Folders and Files.
■
Move a file from your local computer to a folder on a content server. For more information, see
Section 8.14, Moving Content Folders and Files.
