Create a new Cabinet

This Help topic refers to the following editions:

þ Enterprise þProfessional þ Personal þ Small Business

 

DocuXplorer Personal and Small Business users can only create a single Cabinet.

 

DocuXplorer Enterprise and Pro users can create an unlimited number of Cabinets.

 

From the DocuXplorer Desktop:

 

A Cabinet must be located on a device local to its Library. A device local to a Library would be a hard drive, CD-ROM, DVD or other storage device physically attached to a machine containing the Library.

 

Examples are as follows:

  1. A Library is located on a Network Server with multiple hard drives. All those hard drives would be local to that Server, therefore a Cabinet could be stored on any of those drives.

  2. A Library is located on a local (i.e. C:\" drive) and the computer is connected to a network - all Cabinets would need to be located on the local C drive and could not be placed on any network drive as they would not be considered local to the Library

  3. A Library is located on a laptop that is sometimes connected to a network - in this instance a user would have a local Library on the laptop so that sets of documents could be accessed when away from the network. If they wanted to take documents from the network with them they would copy Cabinets from the network server to their laptop and connect them to their local Library (the Cabinet would have to be stored on the laptop hard drive or CD drive to connect with the laptop Library). When in the office and connected to the network server they could change Libraries by changing the Connection Path for the Library displayed and have access to the network's local Library.

 

To create a new cabinet:

 

Tip:

The Cabinet, by default, inherits the Library Properties. Changes can be made to the Cabinet Properties in the Cabinet Properties dialog box.
