Version Control Section

• Version Control Owner:  This displays the owner of the selected folder

• File History Log:  Opens the File History screen, which displays a list of all file versions recorded for the selected folder, and subfolders inheriting properties from the selected folder.

• File History Logging Option:  Enables/Disables File History. With File History enabled, a copy of every file version uploaded to the selected folder (and subfolders inheriting properties from the selected folder) is stored in the folder owner's Version History Repository folder. This option cannot be changed if the selected folder is inheriting its properties from a parent folder.

This can be purged from the Version History Repository at any time. The automatic delete protection feature also logs details of the Delete event and displays this in the File History Report for the selected parent folder.

Retain Versions: You can set the number of versions the system will retain for each file.  You may want to retain ALL versions of a file, or only a few versions to save disk space used.  You can retain 0 versions if you only want to use the File History Log feature, without retaining any backup versions of the files uploaded.  

Note: a nightly process removes all excess file versions, according to this "Retain Versions" setting.  For this reason, if you upload new versions, you may see versions beyond the Retain Versions setting until the following day.

 

• File Checkout Report:  Opens the file checkout screen, which displays a list of all file Checkouts, Checkins, and read-only downloads recorded for the selected folder

• File Checkout Option:  Enables/Disables the enforcement of Checkin-Checkout Version Control rules on the selected folder.  With this feature enabled, all downloads and uploads are automatically tracked using a Checkout/Checkin system, similar to checking out a book at the library - only one person may have the file checked out at a time. This option cannot be changed if the selected folder is inheriting its properties from a parent folder.

• Disable Delete:  Completely disables all deletion capability within the selected folder or subfolders inheriting properties from the selected folder, regardless of the user.  This prevents accidental deletion for important files.  This feature can be used with File History and File Checkout Enforced, for complete version protection.

• Propertied Inherited From:  Displays the folder from which all properties of the selected folder are based. When you set the properties of a folder, all subfolders "inherit" these properties (hence the name "parent" folder).  With many hierarchical levels of subfolders, it may not be immediately apparent which folder actually has the properties that the current folder is using.  This "Properties Inherited From" field displays which folder you should go to if you need to change the properties that are being inherited.

• Detach Properties from Parent:  If the selected folder is inheriting its properties, and you need to change a property without affecting the parent folder and its other subfolders, use this option to detach the selected folder from the parent folder.  After clicking this button, you may alter the selected folder's properties then click Save to store them independent of any parent folder. 

• Force Checkout All:  Marks all of the Checked In files as Checked Out, within the selected folder and its subfolders. Files will not be downloaded, only marked as Checked Out by you.

• Undo All Checkouts:  Cancels the Checkout status for all files that are currently Checked Out within the current folder and its subfolders.
