Linked map:

DataRails linked map provides a holistic view of all files and enables to understand how they are all connected together.

A great way to check for links between worksheets is by using DataRals Linked map.

Admin users can go to Admin Panel > Organization > 3 dots menu > Linked map. DataRails will quickly build a diagram that shows how workbooks are linked to each other and to external sources.

In the diagram, you can move the mouse pointer over any node to see a workbook's FileBox and its last modified date.

Sync User - Set Sync Directories from Admin Panel

Admin users can set synced folders from the Devices tab in Admin Panel. This will help admin users to manage the synced folders configuration without IT involvement.

  4. Include: An option to sync only a specific folder in path. Default: empty
  5. Exclude: An option to exclude a specific folder in path from syncing. Default: empty
  6. Status: online - folders are accessible, offline - folders are not accessible, review the permissions settings.

  • Or go to Admin Panel > FileBoxes > 3 dots menu > Set Auto Connector

  1. Paste your auto synced folder path and add a file name
  2. Replace all dates with period buttons (Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day). Highlight the date in the path box and click on the relevant period button. For example: \\servername\Process\2019\Q3\01\Test20190101.xlsm Should be - \\servername\Process\<Year>\Q<Quarter>\<Month>\Test<Year><Day><Month>.xlsm
  3. Add list - In case you have a variation in one of the path’s words, you can create a list of acceptable values. For example: Test, Tests, Testing.
  4. Test - will search and provide a list of matching files found based on the configuration at current path
  5. Generate - creates a list of predicted match results based on configuration
  6. Predicted path list
  7. Predicted dimension list
  8. Check the box to apply this configuration on existing files
  9. Save to apply changes
