Navigating and Your Account

The VaultCONNECT interface has been logically sectioned off to help you easily navigate through your account. Upon logging into your account, you will see a navigation menu to the left and an information screen to the right. Clicking on one of the navigation menu items on the left changes what you see on the right.

Directory Contents
When you click on a navigation menu item that pertains to a directory, your directory listing shows the contents of the current directory with information pertaining to each item. Each file or directory is listed on a separate row and contains the item's name, size, and date of last modification.

This is an image of File and Directory Management.  If you
are not seeing the image, your browser does not support image files.

For directories, the size represents the total size of all files within the directory, including subdirectories.

The Top Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the right frame is used for managing the current folder as well as those files and folders in the directory listing. The toolbar is divided in sections: Navigation, Folder Management, and Multi-File and Folder functionality. To perform any of the functions in the third section of the toolbar, e.g. move, mark off the checkbox for each file you wish to move and select the button from the toolbar. Not all users will have the approprate file rights to the file to perform each action.

Sorting Your Files and Folders
The order of your file and directory listing may be sorted according to name, size, or date of last modification. By clicking on the title of each of these columns, files and directories will automatically sort in ascending order, grouping directories separately from files.

To sort in descending order, click the column title again. The black "up" arrow indicates that the contents are sorted in ascending order while the black "down" arrow indicates descending order.

Each row also contains Action Icons. You can use the actions icons both to get a quick look at the item's lock and sharing status as well as to perform the action represented: lock an item, display and manage an item's information, manage an item's access permission using the share feature or delete that item.Not all users will have access to all the actions items. i.e.: Users with "Read" permission will not be able to change or view the "Sharing" icon or navigate to the "Sharing" management page.

For additional file and directory management, use the checkbox to the left of each row to perform operations on the item via the top toolbar.

Size Information
At the top and bottom of the right frame, the File and Directory Management frame, is the "select all" checkbox the total number of itms in the directory listing and the current directory's quotam and size information. The "select all" checkbox selects and deselects all of the directories and files in the current directory contents listing. The size information is:

  • Item count - The total number of files and directories within the current directory.
  • Available Space - The remaining space available for you to use for saving files and directories within the current directory.(not applicable to "Workspaces")
  • Total Size - The sum of the size of all files and the size of all subdirectories, including each subdirectory's contents. This is the size amount listed at the bottom of the "size" column
