It is possible for a user to take folders with content offline. This gives the user the possibility to proceed his work without a connection to the repository (ex. while traveling). Taking a folder offline downloads all the content within that folder to the user’s local hard drive.
Offline folders are added to the user’s Favorites. And an icon indicates which favorite folders are offline available. In the context menu of an offline available folder the ‘Take Offline’ command has a checked checkbox in front of it. If the ‘Take Offline’ command is selected again, the folder will be no longer offline available.
Each time when the user connects to the repository the offline folders will be synchronized with the repository. A user can manually start the synchronization by selecting ‘Refresh Offline’ in the context menu of the offline folder.
When a user has taken folders offline and connects to the relevant bookmark in offline mode. The content within the offline folders will be available for read-only.
This can be configured in the config.js configuration file, under the “extended” object.
