If you are a cFolders administrator, you can define which object types are to be used across the entire system on the General tab page under cFolders Administration .

If you are not a cFolders administrator but have administration authorization for a collaboration, you can change this default setting for the relevant collaboration. To do this, on the collaboration detail screen, choose  Additional Functions Object Types . A list of all object types appears. By default, the objects that have been selected under cFolders Administration are already selected. You can select or deselect the objects as required. The system-wide default is not affected by the object types that you allow at collaboration level.

On the collaboration detail screen, you can also define which object categories are available in this collaboration by choosing  Additional Functions Categories . There is no system-wide default for categories.

If you activate the Subscribe function for any object, you are automatically informed by means of a notification when a change has been made to that object.

You can define notifications for objects on the object overview screen.

You can control the lifecycle of an object by assigning a status profile .

Many objects, for example, documents, notes, and bookmarks can be displayed directly in the Current Version column, by selecting the link. The system opens the object in an additional browser window.

If the object has a time stamp (that is, the time when the object was created or an entry is made), the time is valid for the time zone of the user who created the document or entry.

The alias names function allows you to use different enterprise-specific names for the objects without overwriting their original name. These names are known as labels .
