Adds handling of multi-level Folder structures. (new Item Types, see data model). On top of Aras Solutions "Product Engineering" and "Program Management"
Each Folder can list simple attachments (files) or controlled (related) items, like Documents or Parts (Poly Item List).
Multi-level folder tree grid allows dropping files onto folder rows. And it provides actions to view, lock/unlock items. And actions to add controlled items or sub folders to folder rows
Folder Templates: Allow creating pre-defined folder structures with pre-defined files or controlled items linked. These get copied to folders created from a template.
Team access: Enables collaboration on data managed in folders by allowing access permissions to team members with roles: Manager, Member, Guest. The entire folder structure or sub structures can have their own "private" teams.
folder structure or sub structures can have their own "private" teams.
