65.1 Adding a Document Storage Area

To help you plan where to create the new document storage area, see Section 64.1.3, Deciding Where to Store Documents.

To create a new document storage area for a library:

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of the library.

  2. Click the Storage Areas tab.

    Existing document storage areas are listed.

  4. Click Add to create a new document storage area.

  5. Provide a description for the document storage area.

  6. Specify the path to the folder where you want to create the document storage area.

    If the folder does not exist, it will be created as the document storage area is set up.

    If the location is on a remote Windows server:

    1. Specify the remote location as a UNC path.

    2. Configure the POA service to run as This Account on the Windows server with administrator rights to access the remote location.

    3. (Conditional) If the remote location requires different credentials from those in use by the POA service, specify the user name and password for the remote location on the Post Office Settings tab.

  7. Click OK to create the new document storage area and add it to the list of storage areas for the library.

  8. In the Storage Areas list, select the new document storage area to enable it as an active document storage area.

  9. (Conditional) If you want to stop storing documents in the previous document storage area, deselect it in the Storage Areas list.

  10. Click Save, then click Close to return to the main Admin console window.
