Home Page

Your Home page displays initially. It is a friendly starting point for both administrators and users. From this page you can see any new files which have been uploaded or posted for you, browse to various folders to retrieve old files, or upload a file into the system. If Ad Hoc Transfer is enabled, you can also send a file package to one or more individuals, and you will see any new packages sent to you.

Note: The items on your Home page may vary depending on your organization's setup.

Groups may also post announcements to their members. Group announcements will appear here along with the name of the group the announcement belongs to. As with the organization announcement, the name of the person who posted the announcement as well as the time of the announcement will appear immediately below the announcement itself.

New Files

If any new files have been uploaded recently, they will be listed in this section. New files will be organized by folder (clicking on a folder will take you to the folder view). Clicking on the file name will take you to the file view. Clicking on the name of the person who uploaded the file will take you to a brief user profile. Clicking on the Download link will pop up a "Save as..." dialog which lets you save the file to your local hard drive. Several links are also shown. One link will take you to your home folder, another will take you to the main folder list. The third link will mark all the new files listed as Not New, so that they will no longer appear in this list.

This section provides a hint about using the Find File box to locate files and two links. One link will take you to your home folder, the other will take you to the main folder list.
