Editing Functions for Project and Collaboration Structures

The project and collaboration structures in a Project Management or cFolders repository can be edited using external WebDAV-compatible applications.

Example Example

If you have installed a portal drive, you can conveniently edit these structures in the familiar environment of the Microsoft Windows File Explorer user interface.

If you have configured a WebDAV repository manager in the SAP NetWeaver Portal for the Project Management or cFolders repository, you can edit these structures with the user interface in Knowledge Management. For example, you can set up a TREX connection via the portal for the document search which ensures quick access to the documents in a Project Management or cFolders repository.

End of the example.
