Introduction to Radix DM Extranet
Some of the concepts used in this document are discussed below.
Search
Searches allow Radix DM Extranet administrators to define a set of documents that are accessible to users and the rules that govern this accessibility. Each Extranet Search links to a Favourite Search in Radix DM that has been shared. For more information about Searches, see the section Searches.
Profile
Profiles are a way of organising and collating Searches. A Profile can contain any number of Searches (and Searches can be assigned to more than one Profile). The set of all documents returned by these Searches is available to users in Radix DM Extranet who have access to that Profile. In addition, Users in Radix DM Extranet who are designated as "Managers" can be notified of activity by other users when a document in a Profile is uploaded to or downloaded from Radix DM. For more information about Profiles, see the section Profiles.
