10 Library Administration

Users with the Library Administration authority profile use Library to manage the library structure and publish documents to the user base. Access to documents can be managed based on internal retailer users and external supplier users. The logging and tracking of user readership is also available.

To access Library, select Library on the main navigation bar. The list of published documents that can be accessed by the user is shown. Figure 10-1 shows an example of this page.

Document Folder Pane

The contents of the document library are presented as a structured hierarchy where documents are organized within a tree of libraries that contain any number of folders and sub-folders.

A user only sees the folders and sub-folders that contain documents to which the user has access. Clicking a folder or sub-folder name displays the list of all documents in the folder or sub-folder and all its sub-folders.

When a user puts focus on the lowest level folder, the number of documents is shown in brackets:

This graphic shows the number of docments in a folder.

Archive shows the folder and sub-folder structure of archived documents. It is only available to users with the Library Administrator authority profile.

Permissions

Permissions control whether a user has access to the document library. Generally, all users are granted access. Access to individual documents can be granted or refused on a user basis. The Library Reader authority profile provides reader access to the library.

Locating a Document

To display all the documents within and beneath a folder, click the folder name in the Document Folder pane area. Only those documents to which the user has access are shown.
