Direct Connect runs behind the scenes and will automatically synchronize a folder on your computer or server with the Archives in your GlobalSearch system. Using any capture device, a "save as" command from any line of business application, or a drag and drop action, files saved are picked up at the specified Import Frequency and automatically saved to GlobalSearch.
For Server Setups
- Configure direct connect with a user account that will have permissions to all Databases and Archives. When Direct Connect starts for the first time, the Starting Folder on the server will synchronize with GlobaSearch and folders matching each Database and Archive will be created automatically. Don't worry if the GlobalSearch system is not configured or configured completely. Direct Connect will synchronize any new Archives and create missing one every time it polls for new files to import. If the GlobalSearch setup is not complete, now is the time to finish that task. Make sure that your GlobalSearch Archives are setup before attempting to build out the capture process.
- On the server, sharing may be setup at the root level (the Starting Folder) or at and folder level below the Starting Folder. Ensure your sharing settings
- Sharing at the root level
