Using Other Methods for Accessing Folders and Content

This section discusses how to access folders and content using methods other than the methods already discussed.

You can access folders and content within hierarchies through the standard portal search using the Search Folders and Maintain Content functions. These functions are common to the Content Management features. The user sees only content for which he or she has viewer rights, regardless of expiration dates, which enables a user to search through existing content.

These are the types of left navigation links used to access folders and content:

  • Search Folders: Search for Content Management folders that you have privileges to view, and access the children that are associated with the selected folders.

  • Maintain Content: Access and maintain the properties for the Content Management content that you have privileges to view.

  • Search All Folders: Search for a folder in all features and sites that you have privileges to view.

    Access the children that are associated with the selected folder.

  • Maintain All Folders: Search for a folder in all features and sites that you have privileges to view.

    Maintain the properties for the selected folders.

  • Maintain All Content: Search for content in all features and sites that you have privileges to view.

    Maintain the properties for the content that is stored in the Content Management system.

Note: The same content item may be listed multiple times because a single content item can be shared across multiple hierarchies, features, and sites.
