UPLOAD REPLACE OPTIONS
The dialog box that opens when you select Preferences from the context-sensitive menu has seven tabs. The first of these is labeled Upload Replace Options. In this dialog box, you can instruct Java Virtual Folders how to behave when you want to upload a document that already exists on the server (see Figure 31).
The second tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Upload Access Rights. Here, you can decide that documents to be uploaded should have the same rights as the collection you are putting them into (this is the default option), or you can set individual rights for documents (see Figure 32). You can use the Rights Wizard to help you set access rights. The Rights Wizard is explained on page 27.
The third tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Upload Version Control Options. Here you can determine how Java Virtual Folders should apply Version Control options to uploaded documents. You can choose to force a check in on a document (it is automatically put under Version Control when it is uploaded to the server) or, if the document already exists and is already version controlled, you can choose to commit the version you are uploading as the latest version. See Figure 33.
The fourth tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Upload Options. Here you can select the checkbox Absolute links for out of scope targets. This option helps you to ensure that link consistency is maintained when documents are being moved between a Hyperwave Information Server and a local file system. See Figure 34.
The fifth tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Download Options. Here you can specify how Java Virtual Folders should behave when the objects you are downloading to a local file system contain or consist of links to other objects. You can also specify how Java Virtual Folders should behave when errors occur. See Figure 35.
The sixth tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Version Control Options. Here you can select whether or not you are given the option of checking out versions other than the most recent version when you choose Check out from the context-sensitive menu. See Figure 36.
Even if you do not have this preference set, you can always choose to check out a previous version of a document by accessing the Check out function in the Version Control dialog box.
The final tab in the Preferences dialog box is labeled Document Classes Runtime. In this dialog box, you can set preferences specific to the Document Classes feature. See Figure 37.
