Creating a new cabinet

Note: If your WDK-based application includes web cabinets, then to create web cabinets you use a separate procedure. See the index or table of contents for the procedure.

To create a new cabinet:

  1. Navigate to the repository where you want to create the cabinet.

  2. Select the Cabinets node

  3. Do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Click New Cabinet.

    • Select File>New>Cabinet.

  4. In the Create tab, type the name of the new cabinet and type of cabinet. Enter additional information as desired.

  5. In the Info tab, set properties as desired. The properties available are determined by your organization.

    If the Edit link appears next to a property, you can set the property’s values by clicking Edit and entering values in the resulting page.

    If your WDK-based application supports CIS, the See CIS Values might appear. If so, select the suggested property values that you want to accept and then click OK.

    Suggested values cannot include the tilde (~) character or the vertical pipe ( | ) character.

  6. In the Permissions tab, specify the access specific users and groups have to the cabinet. For information on this tab, see Editing permissions in the Permissions tab.

  7. Depending on your WDK-based application, other tabs might appear. Set information in these tabs as desired. For information on the functionality affected by those tabs, refer to the topic in this guide that covers that functionality.

  8. Click Finish.
