3.2.1.3.3 File Screen Templates

For each File Screen Template, a minimal set of configuration properties is maintained by the server. A File Screen Template is similar to a file screen in terms of the abstract data model maintained by a server implementation. A File Screen Template has almost the same set of configuration properties as a file screen, but the configuration is not applied to a particular file system folder. A File Screen Template is a subset of file screen settings used to easily create active file screen configurations on one or more file system Folder paths.

A protocol client can perform the following management operations involving File Screen Templates:

  • Create or change the configuration data for a File Screen Template. See sections 3.2.4.2.32.1 and 3.2.4.2.10.5 for details.

  • Enumerate the List of File Screen Templates on the server. See section 3.2.4.2.32.3 for details.

  • Get the configuration and state of a particular File Screen Template. See section 3.2.4.2.32.2 for details.

  • Delete a File Screen Template. See sections 3.2.4.2.10.4 and 3.2.4.2.10.5 for details.

  • Apply a File Screen Template to a file screen object. See section 3.2.4.2.27.7 for more details.

With the exception of the File Screen.Folder path and Template id properties, the configuration data of a File Screen Template is the same as that specified for a file screen (section 3.2.1.3.1), with the following addition:

File Screen Template.Name: This property is a unique, user-assigned, case-insensitive Unicode string for the File Screen Template.
