Export Locations

Export locations are storages or defined locations to which the system will be able to transfer files to. An example is a remote FTP server.

These are setup by administrators for users to utilize as part of your or their workflow. Different users can be given or restricted access by setting this up in their associated groups.

List View

Export locations overview page.

To see what export locations are configured with the system click on “Export Locations” in the admin menu. You will see an overview of the export locations with their given name and their host address and port.

Click on the name to view more details or update the export location.

Adding

To add an export location click “Add” from the export location list view. You will be shown a form, fill the attributes and click “Add”.

Name

A text label used when selecting this export profile in Cantemo by users.

Method

Choose which protocol you will be sending files using.

Hostname or IP Address

The hostname or IP Address for the export location. If the system is external please make sure that the system can get to the IP address you enter here. If using hostnames, please make sure that the name is resolvable.

Port

The port to use. Please make sure that the port is listening and accessible from the system.

Path

The path on the remote server.

Note

For S3 the path must start with the bucket name.

Password

Allow filename override

Allow users to enter their own filename when exporting to this location. If not enabled, the system will default to the original filename.

Updating

To update the export location click on the name from the export location list view and then update the details as needed. Click “Update” to save.

Deleting

Choose the export location from the list view and choose delete. You will be asked to confirm your deletion.

Using

Once you have setup the export locations for your system, they can only be used by users once they are set in the groups that users are using.

For example, if you have a export location “web”, and you want all users that are in the group “webmasters” to be able to export to that location:

1. Create the export location called “web”

2. Go into the group “webmasters” in Cantemo

3. Add the export location to the list in under the tab “export locations”.

4. Click “Save & Continue”

Note

If you don’t complete these steps and setup which groups have access to which export locations, the export locations won’t show in the interface for users.
