Manual Searches AXIS StorPoint DISCO provides two methods to manually initiate searches on
the network:
• Quick search – Searches the most recently inserted discs on the previously
detected storage servers. Select Quick Search from the View menu.
• Full search - Searches the entire network for the most recently attached
storage servers and inserted discs. Select Full Search from the View menu.
Notes:
❏ Network searches are performed in the background without decreasing
performance. However, it may take several minutes to complete a search on
a large network. A full search takes more time to complete than a quick
search.
❏ During the search, the AXIS StorPoint DISCO icon on the
taskbar will change its appearance to indicate that a search is
being performed.
Launch Objects AXIS StorPoint DISCO version 2.00 includes an application launcher that
allows you to create and use launch objects. These launch objects are similar to
Windows shortcuts, but they have much more functionality. A launch object
can:
• Start programs and documents from anywhere on the network
• Automatically map and unmap drive letters
• Initiate a series of actions related to the launched application, e.g. displaying
message boxes, parameter lists and file selection dialogs.
By doing this, programs can be customized to the user’s needs at startup. A user
might for example want to start a word processor with a specific document
template and then save the result on a specific file server on the network. The
launch object could then map the file server automatically and open a file
selection dialog where the user selects the document template.
