If your school is licensed for Document Management Integration, External Storage Provider options are available. Jenzabar integrates with the following providers: Docubase, Feith, and Softdocs. |
Use this window to enable the Document Storage system, select an administrator, determine the locations available for saving documents to, and delete assigned permissions settings.
To allow permissioned users to add new documents to the Document Storage system, select the Enabled radio button.
Select a group or individual as the Document Storage Administrator. This user/user group has all permissions over documents, regardless of what other permissions have been granted or denied. The Document Storage Administrator can be any J1 Desktop group or any active J1 Desktop user/user group.
You can delete all permission settings here. (The Document Storage Administrator drop-down gives you a quick glance at which users/user groups have permission, and the Document Security window has comprehensive controls for permissions.)
When you click the Delete All Assigned Permissions... button, you delete all the permission settings (both granted and denied) that have been set up in the Document Security window.
Pop-up messages require you to confirm that you want to delete all the permission settings and to inform you that you will be tagged as user who deleted them.
Document Storage provides internal and external storage options. Internal storage options let you store documents in your database and a designated network location. External storage options require a license and let you store documents with third-party providers Docubase, Feith, and Softdocs.
You can chose to store different document categories and types in different locations. For example, you can store Communication Management attachments on the network, Student Life documents in the database, and Financial Aid documents in Docubase.
Storage locations are managed on the Document Storage Setup window, but the options available are determined by the options enabled on the Document Configuration window.

If you decide to switch where one document category or type is stored, be sure to migrate your files to the new locations beforehand. |
To allow documents to be stored in the database, select the Database Storage Enabled? checkbox. Consider how many files you will be storing and potential impacts to performance if a large number of files will be added.
To allow documents to be stored in a designated network location, select the Network Storage Enabled? checkbox.
§ For this feature to work, the J1 Web machine must have full permission to the network location (configured from the folder's properties, Sharing and Security settings).
§ When setting up network storage, consider using a location with restricted access as some files may contain confidential content. Files are stored with random file names that conceal their contents, but they are not encrypted.
To allow documents to be stored in a licensed third-party provider, select the Enabled checkbox and enter the necessary provider information. These options are only available if your school is licensed for Document Management Integration with Docubase, Feith, and/or Softdocs. If you do not see a third-party provider listed, your school is not licensed to use one.
