Hi,

I am evaluating Document Exchange Version 4 and have some questions:

1) How do I create sub folders e.g. Finance, Sales etc..?

2) Where do I set up which users can add/edit/delete documents and which users can only view. Only a user set as administrator can do this at the moment.

I have looked through the documents and cannot find this information. Your version 1 manual shows a screen that I cannot seem to find.

I am running as localhost at the moment.

3) Is there a step by step tutorial anywhere on how to set this module up?

 

 

Regards

 

Mike

Hi Mike,
3. There is a chapter on setting up DMX for the first time in the installation manual. The root is only for administrators to add to. The idea is that you add folders there and set permissions correctly for those. Then you add DMX instances around your site starting at different folders to suit your needs.
1. Under the folder menu you'll see 'New Item ..' click that
2. You'll see a permission screen when going through the 'New Item ...' wizard

I must still be missing obvious. I have added an instance to a page only viewable by admin. Logged in as admin but I do not see the Collections menu shown on page 11 of the installation guide. I also do not see the 'New' option either so I am unable to create collections. At the moment, I can only add documents to the 'Document Exchange' folder. What am I doing wrong and should I uninstall and reinstall again?

Just uninstalled and reinstalled and everything is the same. No collections menu is visible in admin mode.

How about a 'Folder' menu. Do you see that?

Peter I am seeing a simailr issue where I cannot add sub-folders to the root folder if I am logged in as an Admin.  I can only do that as Host.  But when I create a folder I am not able to edit the permissions for View/Edit mode.  That selection is greyed out.  The page has permissions so that it is Editable by an Administartor.  The module inherits the permission from the page.  I am not sure what is going on.  Can you please help?  I will email you the screenshots.

Thanks

Hi Chhavi,
I can only imagine the module did not install correctly. The Admin will always have all rights in the root folder of DMX. You should see the 'Add New Item' on the folder menu when you select the root menu as Admin.

I am experiencing the same behavior Chavni describes (on a trial install).  Was there any resolution to this yet?

Sorry for not updating thr forum with the fix.  In my scenarion it turns out that somehow the "Admin" user was not mapped to the "Registered Users" role, only Administrators role.  That was causing the issue.  As soon as I mapped the "Admin" user to the Registered Users role, everything started working as expected.

Thank you!  I just tried that it works now for me as well.
