The General settings area is divided into the following areas:

Here project room owners and project members with a corresponding user-defined role can change the project name. You can enter up to 255 characters including spaces. The numbers above the input field indicate the number of characters you can enter and how many characters you have already entered.

• enaio® root object

  This area provides information about the root object as well as two links that will take you to the location of the root object. The object in enaio® coLab that was initially selected in enaio® for the creation of a project room is called the root object (see The Root Object).

  • (Download reference file (*.os))

    Depending on the settings in your browser, an *.os reference file is offered for downloading or executing when you click the link. enaio® users can use the *.os reference file to show the root object and its location.

    *.os reference files are supported by enaio® client, enaio® webclient as a desktop application, and enaio® mobile. enaio® webclient does not support *.os reference files.

  • (Jump to enaio® webclient)

    enaio® users of enaio® webclient can click this link to open enaio® webclient in their browser and view the location of the root object.

  Follow the links to see the name of the initial enaio® object and its object ID.

• Upload document type

  Setting up the coLab upload document type enables all project members (enaio® users and external project members) to upload files in enaio® coLab and to automatically file these files in the enaio® filing system (see coLab upload type).

• Show/hide

  By de/activating the Show messages and Show tasks checkboxes, you also have the option of showing or hiding the message and task area on the project's overview page and the tasks view.

  Project room owners, project members with a corresponding user-defined role, and coLab administrator can delete project rooms by clicking the Delete project room button. You can find a detailed description on how to delete project rooms under Deleting Project Rooms.
