Ascent® 7.0 Release Script for Hummingbird DM 5.0-5.1 Release Notes
40 Kofax, Inc.
Duplicate Folders With Public Settings
At release setup, you can enable the “Public” check box for a user-defined folder, which is
available from the Folder Settings tab. When this option is enabled, it allows all users to view, edit,
create, or delete a user-defined DM folder.
Public Setting Creates Duplicate Folders
Duplicate folders may be created with the Public check box enabled in release setup. This can be
resolved via a configuration change on the Hummingbird DM server. (SPR 30869)
Workaround: Do the following:
1 Open Library Maintenance on the Hummingbird DM server.
2 Click the Groups icon and double-click the group for the user account used in release
setup.
3 Select the Permissions tab and set the following permissions:
Can Create New Documents = Yes
Can Create Folders = Yes
Can Create/Remove Public Folders = Yes
4 Close Library Maintenance.
5 Refresh the cache on the Hummingbird DM server.
6 If Windows Explorer DM Extension is running on the client, be sure to close the
application before releasing the next batch.
Changing Public Setting on Hummingbird DM Server
If you change the public setting to non-public or vice versa on the Hummingbird DM server, this
setting will not change on the Folder Settings tab. At release, the user-defined folder will retain the
settings from the Folder Settings tab and the Hummingbird DM server. Although no error
messages are given, the release will create two folders (a public folder and a non-public folder)
using identical batch names. (SPRs 29329 and 29330)
Workaround: To ensure that duplicate folders are not created at release, we recommend that you
only change the public setting on the Folder Settings tab.
