Creating a Top-level Client Directory

Before you begin

Administrators should set up a default clients' directory/mount for TransPort and all projects created using the Upload Files and Create Project feature. Administrators can either set up a directory within an existing mount or a create a new mount. For example, create a directory/mount called Clients.

A mount is one of the top level folders in the asset interface system that results from configuring a connector to point to a specific repository.

Choose the method that best suits your organization's requirements:

  • Use an existing mount or create a new mount. See Configuring the Mount.
  • Create a new folder using the WorldServer Explorer. See Creating a Directory Structure.

An administrator can set up a top-level directory/mount that can be used to list all client subdirectories and folders. When the default client directory/mount is defined, WorldServer lists user-specified client names as subdirectories or folders within that directory/mount. For example, if a Client Manager creates a client called the ABC Company and selects Clients as the top-level directory/mount, the ABC Company becomes a subfolder under Clients, as shown.
