Creating Domain Documents Account  

One domain Documents account can be created per domain. The Documents wizard is used to quickly create the account and set the permissions for accessing the account. When the domain Documents account is created, the account includes a Notebook folder and a Template Notebook folder.

The Notebook folder can be used to create, collect, and organize information that can be shared with others. The default domain Documents access is set to allow all users in the domain to view, edit, add, and delete the contents of the Domain Notebook folder.  You can modify these permissions.

The Template Notebook does not contain any template files. The Global Documents Template Notebook folder is used as the base template files for all domains and user notebooks folders. Note: Changing templates or creating new templates is not available in release 4.0.
