Folder Template
It can be handy if logins created via the 
add login function start out with a certain set of folders and files already in them.
folder: TEMPLATES
If you create a folder in the root folder called
TEMPLATES
then INTERDUBS will look in there for folders that it will offer during the creation of a new login. If there is a folder called
DEFAULT
inside of TEMPLATES then this will be selected default for newly created folders.
Request the use of a template via REQUIRED_TEMPLATES
A template folder called
REQUIRED_TEMPLATES
works exactly like a TEMPLATES folder. The difference is that INTERDUBS will require the user to choose one of the TEMPLATES that are in that folder. The none choice from the template selection is gone. Apart from this difference REQUIRED_TEMPLATES and TEMPLATES work the same way. The rest of this page uses TEMPLATES.
blocking the creation of new logins
Should you only create a folder called REQUIRED_TEMPLATES but leave it empty then admins can effectively not create new logins. While we find it hard right now to imagine how this could be useful we kept this a possibility in the system.
Examples
For the rest of this page folders will be denoted in the common path notation. If you like to start out all new logins with two folders called "audio" and "video" then you simply would create the following folders:
/TEMPLATES/DEFAULT/audio /TEMPLATES/DEFAULT/video
So if you create a new login called login01 then it would start out with the following folders:
/login01/audio /login01/video
when the user left the default selected. Likewise there could be an alternative structure like:
/TEMPLATE/commercial/previz /TEMPLATE/commercial/boards /TEMPLATE/commercial/cuts /TEMPLATE/commercial/reference
A user selecting 'commercial' for a login called 'login02' would end up with:
/login02/previz /login02/boards /login02/cuts /login02/reference
API
If you create a login via the Api then the folder /TEMPLATE/DEFAULT will be used if it does exist.
