Something to think about. Your entire operating system works just like M-Files. Everything is stored in the same place. A database keeps tract of what file is where. Your OS may or may not index files based on your search settings. This index is another database about your files. What do you see? Folders.
Phoenixgs, sorry for the somewhat off topic post.
Nate, I have that info:
- I was in Helsinki at a M-Files seminar/training, a few months ago.
- There was quite clearly said, a folder structure is not recommended and not supported. ( But possible with restrictions )
- I work daily with M-Files and other apps. with SQL-Server based apps.
- M-Files/Alibre Vault Support for our German Alibre customers.
- During the German localization process of M-Files, I had intensive contact with colleagues/developers from M-Files.
I am a definite fan of M-Files.
I am against prejudices of all kinds.
BUT also I have absolute sympathy for questions/fears from other users here.
We are talking here about the corporate ownership of data, important enough to get the clarity before.
I thought this was an important discussion, so I started a new topic.
Many of us have Traditional file setup in our Vault, but I am afraid there may be a latent consequence to this file structure, as Ralf has implied.
My question is simple and the answer should be made available to the entire forum.
Does Alibre Design approve of the Traditional file structure in the Alibre Vault?
