Remove from this storage location

What does this function do?

It removes the document from the collection without further enquiry.

Note: The document is only removed from this collection, not from the entire system.


Create copy

When do you use this function?

Link vs. copy

For a better overview and for reasons of storage space, you can normally link the same file to any number of collections.

In certain situations, however, it is important to have a document multiple times in the client.

Example:

  • You have a document template

  • You would like to copy it

  • You fill the copy with individual data

What happens when copying?

An independent copy of the file is created.

Important: The copy has no reference to the original file or its:

  • Metadata

  • keywords

  • approvals

  • Etc.

How to create a copy:

Step 1: Call up the function

  • Click on a document with the right mouse button

  • Select "Create copy..." in the context menu

Note: You cannot select multiple documents and copy them in one operation.

Step 2: Make settings

You can optionally:

  • Assign a different file name for the copy

  • Decide whether the copy should be stored in the same location as the original

  • Select a different storage location

Step 3: Select location (for a different storage location)

If you select a different location:

  • A selection window appears

  • You can create new collections

  • You can create new folders

  • You select the destination

Step 4: Confirm

  • Confirm your selection with "OK"

  • The copy is created at the desired location with the desired file name


Splitting

Splitting PDF documents

Prerequisite: The document must consist of at least two pages.

Note: If the document only consists of one page, the "Split" function is not displayed in the context menu.

How to split a PDF:

Step 1: Call up the function

  • Open the context menu by right-clicking on a document

  • Select "Split"

Step 2: Select the splitting method

You have two options:

Option a) Automatic splitting

  • A separate PDF is created from each page of the document

Option b) Customised splitting

  • You create a customised split

Step 3: Set markers (for customised splitting)

If you have selected option b):

  • Set the markers where splitting should take place

Important: The document is always split before the specified page. The specified page corresponds to the first page of the split document.

Example:

  • You want to split a 6-page PDF document

  • The document is to be split into 4 documents: Pages 1-2, 3, 4, 5-6

  • Enter the markers: 3,4,5

  • Press "Enter"

Further options:

  • You can change and customise the file names of the individual sections

  • You can remove existing markers with the recycle bin symbol

  • You can create new markers with "+"

Step 4: Confirm division

The owner can transfer ownership to another user via the context menu of the document (right-click).

Prerequisite for the new owner:

  • The new owner must have at least the status of an external user

  • Guests may not have their own documents

What happens to the original owner?

The original owner:

  • Automatically retains direct access to the document

  • Can still see the document

What is retained?

  • The information that the original user uploaded the document is retained

  • The original owner is still visible on the document or in the log

Case 2: The owner is deleted by an administrator

What happens when a user is deleted?

If an administrator wants to delete a user from the client:

  • He can transfer all documents in his possession to another user

  • He can transfer all collections in his possession to another user

Note: This prevents documents and collections from being lost when a user is deleted.
