HiSoftware
TagGen Server - Resources Overview
A Resource is simply a machine or network or a sub part, e.g.
Machine or Drive or Folder of the resource. All Resources are
stored in a Managed group. A Managed group is best defined as a
name given to a group of resources that will be managed by the
HiSoftware™ TagGen Server. The table below will define resource
types. Remember a logical grouping of resources (the managed
group), generally have the same high level properties.
Class of Resource - Resources can be
Super
or
Standard where; Super will add its policy and metadata rules
to every sub drive or folder in its path unless inheritance is
blocked. And Super Inheritance Blocking Blocks for every Sub
Resource and Standard Resources will assign or block properties
or policy for the specific resource only.
Resource Type
Description
Machine
A Machine is a
computer that is visible to the HiSoftware TagGen Server. You
can define metadata to be added to all documents on a machine as
well as policy and crawler rules.
* You can also define sub level resources, being folders or
drives where you can block the inheritance of these top level
properties and policy or add to the policy based on the
resource. In addition, the Crawler can have specific rules for
sub level resources.
** By Default, all accessible drives and documents on the
same machine will have the machine level properties applied as
per the crawler and/or policy rules.
Drive
A Drive is a
physical drive or logical drive as defined on the Server where
the HiSoftware TagGen Server is installed. A Drive can have
properties assigned to the specific drive and all folders that
reside on it.
* A Drive can be classified to override inheritance from any
member resource that is higher than it in the managed group/or
higher in the direct path.
** Any Folder on the drive can also have specific policies
set to it and block inheritance for the single folder or all sub
folders
Folder
A Folder is a
specific location on a machine and a drive. The Folder can of
course inherit:
Managed Group Level Properties
Machine Properties
Drive Properties and Higher Folder Properties
Drives can also pass their properties down to subfolders.
