Question:
Is it possible, to adapt the settings of a file cabinet to a new file cabinet?
Solution:
As from DocuWare 5.1b Service Pack 1 you can import the file cabinet settings of an existing file cabinet when you create a new file cabinet. You must first export the settings from the file cabinet you wish to use, and then run the Export Settings command from the context menu at the node of the relevant file cabinet in DocuWare Administration. The DocuWare system must be at least version 5.1b Service Pack 1, XML files from older systems are not accepted for the import. You then import this file when you create the new file cabinet in the first dialog of the Create File Cabinet wizard.
Apart from the settings listed below, which depend on the DocuWare organization, all file cabinet settings are included in the import.
When you import file cabinet settings using an XML file, the wizard used to create the file cabinet is curtailed. However, if you import the XML file into another DocuWare system, you can change the database connection and the storage locations, which you select from the current system, during the wizard. If you import the XML file into another DocuWare organization, you can assign the users of the current organization to the file cabinet profiles.
