Creating a Root Folder

You can create a root folder from any directory folder on your web server, or from any Librarian folder. Once you have defined the folder as a root folder, it will appear in the Print Portal Folder Navigator and all BarTender documents within that folder will be available in the Document Browser. If the root folder contains any sub-folders, those sub-folders and BarTender documents within the sub-folders are also available.

ClosedTo create a root folder

  1. Open Print Portal's Administrative Setup page.

  2. In the Left Navigation pane, select Root Folders to open the Root Folders property page.

  3. Click to create a new root folder "Documents" placeholder in the root folders pane.

  4. With the new placeholder selected in the root folders pane, click Browse to open the Browse dialog.

  5. Navigate to and click on the desired folder that you want to specify as a root folder.

  6. Click OK to select the folder and close the dialog.

  7. If you want Print Portal to display a different name for the folder in the Folder Navigator, type that name in the Name field.

  8. If desired, enter filter criteria in the File Filter field to filter the contents of the folder to display only those documents that meet the criteria.

  9. If desired, enable Visible to selected users and groups and add the specific users and/or groups that require access to the folder. This restricts folder visibility to only those users or groups that you add.

    To limit folder visibility to certain users or groups, you must also enable authentication for Print Portal. For more information, refer to Enabling Print Portal Authentication.

  10. Click OK to save your changes and close Administrative Setup.
