Once installed and configured, you administer Enterprise PDM Web servers using the Enterprise PDM Administration tool on a client system. To enable Web access to a vault, you must create one or more configurations and then select the parts of the vault that should be shared.
The configurations you define are accessible when a client browses to the Enterprise PDM URL in a Web browser.
Enterprise PDM Editor and Enterprise PDM Contributor Web Clients
To work in a vault Web share, the computer accessing the share must have Enterprise PDM Editor or Enterprise PDM Contributor Web client software installed. Once installed, the Web client functions much like the Enterprise PDM Editor and Enterprise PDM Contributor.
Users can:
- Browse and search for files and folders
- Add and delete files and folders
- Check in and check out files
- View and update file and folder data cards
- Change the state of files
There are limitations to the type of transactions that can be performed via the web client.
