Benefits of the FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet
WebDAV users are able to access the FileNet P8 environment with little or no additional training. The business processes that Content Engine enables—version control, document access and document sharing protocols and security—can require some additional explanation and training, depending on the goals of the system and its implementation.
Easy to use
Users do not need to know they are using a FileNet P8 system. For example, a user who connects to the FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet using web folders, is able to navigate within object stores and folders as well as open, modify, save, and close Documents in a manner very similar to how they use their local file systems.
Easy to configure
The FileNet P8 WebDAV Servlet resides entirely on the Application Engine. There is no additional FileNet P8 software required to install to the client.
An administrator can configure Application Engine to associate an entry template with specific Workplace folders. When a user adds a document to that folder using a supported WebDAV interface (for example, by dragging a document into the shared folder in Windows® Explorer), the entry template is launched to apply the security and properties defined in the template. If the entry template includes a workflow, the workflow will also be launched. See WebDAV preferences for more information on the settings.
