Client Folder
The Client Folder is the directory under which the project assets are stored when they are uploaded. The value of the Client folder name is dynamically generated from the Client’s name when the Client object is being created. All non-alphanumeric characters are filtered out. The Client folder is created when Client information is saved. WorldServer checks to ensure that this folder exists every time the client is saved. If the folder already exists, the existing folder is used. If it does not, the folder is created.
WorldServer offers a Browse AIS icon next to the
Client Folder input field. You can use this to browse the WorldServer AIS and point to an existing location. Clicking this button opens a dialog that shows the hierarchy of all locations accessible to you and allow you to select one.
When you click the Save button, a folder structure is created at the Client's AIS location. The following folders are created:
- File exchange folder – This folder can be used to keep miscellaneous files that are not related to Projects or Quotes. It can be used for File Exchange, and also is a placeholder for the FTP file exchange feature that will be added in a future WorldServer release.
- Projects folder – All of the Client’s projects are stored in this folder.
- Quotes folder – All of the Client’s quotes are stored in this folder.
- Temp folder – All of the session-specific temporary files during TransPort usage are stored in this folder.
