The Root Object

enaio® coLab • 10.10 »

The root object in enaio® coLab is the object on the basis of which a project room was set up in enaio® (see Creating Project Rooms). These can be folders and registers in the enaio® filing system that have been shared for a coLab project. All other objects below the root object in the enaio® filing system – which can be registers and documents – are mirrored in the coLab project room.

Conversely, all files added from the local file system in the project room are mirrored in the enaio® filing system.
