File Management

Organizing your files, sharing them with others, and keeping track of what happens to your files over time is all accomplished using the main file management properties and tools.

Although there are several file management options available from the main directory listing page (sharing, move, rename, etc.), the File Information page is the central location for a single file's management options.

If you would like to manipulate several files together, do so from the Directory Listing page, using the various options available from the Navigation Toolbar. However, to work with a particular file, you should start from the file's information page.

To View a File's Information Page

1. Navigate to the file you wish to work with.
2. Click on the manage icon, that corresponds with the file you wish to work with.

Collaboration Properties
Collaboration properties are the properties used to keep track and manage your files in regard to how other users are accessing those files. You can use the collaboration properties to keep track of how, when, and what is done to the file over time.

You may also use these properties to share your files with other users as well as with other people who are not users in the system. To find out more about the individual collaboration properties, refer to the specific Help section of that property:

Locks
Logging
Sharing
Versioning
Tickets
Comments
Subscriptions

File Properties
The File Properties section includes all of the "static" properties which are not editable by you but only change through the system. The File Properties also include one editable property, the file's content type.
