Getting started with workgroup management

To use the workgroup management features in LiveMotion, you must be able to connect to a WebDAV server. You can find detailed information and the latest news about WebDAV at the English-language Web site www.webdav.org.

Important: Firewall software can interfere with the process of connecting to a WebDAV server. Check with your system administrator or refer to your firewall software documentation for information about setting options to access outside servers.

Different WebDAV servers have different authentication requirements. Some servers require you to enter a user name and password for every transaction; other servers require authentication only the first time you check out a managed file. When the Authentication dialog box appears, enter your user name and password, and click OK.

When adding a new server to the workgroup, you must provide a unique server nickname (this will appear in the Workgroup Servers list) and a URL for the server.

To set up a server for use with LiveMotion:

1. Choose File > Workgroup > Workgroup Servers.
2. Specify a folder in which you want to store local copies of managed files. To change the default location, click Choose, and specify a different folder.

Note: The path you choose here is used for all servers you want to add. Changing this path does not change the location of files on existing servers.

3. Specify the WebDAV servers you want to use, or do one of the following:
• To add a new server to the list, click New Server, specify a server nickname and URL, and click OK. You may be prompted for your user name and password if authentication is turned on for that server.
• To remove a server from the list, click Remove, and then click OK to the warning message.
• To change the URL, click Edit Server, specify a new URL, and click OK.
4. Click OK.
