FEATURED COMMUNITY SOLUTION: Collaboration Folders

Formerly known as the Item Folder solution, Collaboration Folders is an Aras Community Solution that offers a quick and easy way to organize multi-level folder structures for both files AND items. It's simple, intuitive and very powerful. And it was just updated for Aras Innovator 9.4.

With the Collaboration Folders solution, each folder can list attachments (files) or controlled (related) items such as documents and parts (poly item list). It also enables the creation of folder structures from folder templates. The Multi-level Folder Tree Grid allows dropping files onto folder rows. Users can view, lock and unlock items. You can also add controlled items or sub folders to folder rows. Folder Templates enable the creation of pre-defined folder structures with pre-defined files or controlled items linked. These get copied to folders created from a template. Team Access facilitates collaboration on data managed in folders by allowing access permissions to team members with roles: Manager, Member or, Guest for example. In addition, the entire folder structure or sub structures can have their own "private" teams.

Folder Structure combined with Team Access make this solution an effective way to organize, manage, share and collaborate on attached files and controlled documentation in hierarchical folders with other Aras users over the web. This free solution has been downloaded over a 1000 times already and is being used in production by a wide range of Aras users.
