Repositories List

By selecting the option to manage Repositories, will appear the form "list of Repositories". This form allows you to maintain all the system Repositories.

All OPD documents are stored in a repository. You can use the same repository for all types of documents or create and assign different repositories for storing different types of documents, according to the needs of space, speed and cost of storage. OPD supports the types of repository:

• FS: FileSystem. Storage system in a folder accessible to Swing or Web clients.
• BBDD: Data Base. Storage in a table as BLOB attribute. Recommended for small files or types of documents with low volume.
• FTP: Storage on an ftp server. Recommended for types of documents with limited access.
• S3: Cloud Storage on Amazon S3. Sharing information around the world with security and the speed and costs selected..
• REFURL: Reference to documents/pages existing in Internet/Intranet. Allows to classify and catalog documents of interest without having them stored locally. (The documents are not deleted when you delete the record)

When you define or create the repositories, you can encrypt them, so that even if a user to access the file system or database, can not view the documents unless is through OPD.

To filter the Repository or list of Repositories you want to review, just enter part of the name in the text box and press "ok". The list of Repositories that meet the conditions will be shown on the results table. Pressing the button without entering any value you see all the elements on which the user has permission. The results table shows the data:

• Identification name
