Overview and Purpose
Folder Management allows users to explore files related to Transact operation or batch class design. You’ll be granted permission to access the SharedFolders root or a batch class directory depending on your permissions. It has the following listed features:
- Administrators can natively moderate Transact’s folder structure without RDP or SSH.
- Administrators can download the final output of batch instances or other files for review. Files can be added, modified, or deleted for Search classification, testing, and script functions related to a batch class.
Note: As of 2020.1.06, users will not be able to view backup XML files.
Folder Selection Widget
This drop-down shows all the folders available for selection. By default, the first element from the drop-down is selected.
Figure 1. The SharedFolders Drop-Down Menu
The options appearing in the list of available folders depend on the role assigned to the user who has logged in:
- Super Administrators: The SharedFolders option appears in the drop-down list. Additionally, all batch class folders present in the shared folders will appear in the dropdown.
- Administrators: Only the Batch class folders (from the shared folder) appear in the list that the user has permission to access.
Folder Management Tree
The following tree displays all directories of the folder selected from the dropdown. Users can click on the node to expand and select a subfolder as well.
