In the Setting s menu you can tailor your individual cFolders user settings to your personal requirements.

Integration

The appearance of the Settings screen depends partly on the system settings carried out under Network Administration and cFolders Administration .

The Meetings and File Storage tab pages are only displayed if you choose Network Administration in the overview tree and set the Activate Meetings indicator on the Meetings tab page and the Activate File Storage indicator on the File Storage tab page.

Furthermore, the Diagnosis tab page is only displayed if you choose cFolders Administration in the overview tree and set the Diagnosis Settings Active indicator on the General tab page.

Features

You can define the following to suit your individual requirements under Settings :

      The system automatically navigates to this page when you choose Home . You can also return to the home page by clicking the logo in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

    • Specify a file server where you want to save and/or read data.

      Usually, a location is associated with a file server that allows optimum network access within the location. If you cannot find your file server, choose the Standard Server setting or consult your cFolders system administrator. For more information, see Distributed Content Servers .
