All folders inside of the home folder will be displayed in a selection menu in

 quickReel

Selecting one of these sub folders will automatically display all clips contained within that sub folder.

If a home folder is set then folders in REEL_SOURCES -that are usually used in this way- will be ignored.

INTERDUBS will only find files below the home folder will be used in

 quickReel searches

New logins

When a new login is created via the

 add login

screen, then the default is create the corresponding folder inside of the home folder for that admin. This option can be disabled though.

Another aspect of new folders are folder templates. Each new folder assigned to a login can be derived from a Template.


Assigning a home folder

An existing folder can be assigned to one or many admin users.

Self assignment

Go to the desired home folder by navigating to it under the files tab. Then open the

 folder edit 

screen and click on

 set home folder


Any previous choice will be overwritten, since an admin login can only have one home folder.


Home folder reset

On the

 personal preferences

screen reachable via the footer of each page, there is a

 reset home folder 

option that will clear the home folder of the user.


Assignment by root admin

A root admin can assign folders to other users: Navigate to th folder that should be used. The function is under the

 folder edit 

screen. A root admin can access the

 asign folder as home folder for other users 

function. After selecting it a list of all admin users will be presented. On this list the root admin can assign as many admins to this home folder as desired.
