Subscribing to an item

To have quick access to a cabinet, folder, or file, you can subscribe to the cabinet, folder, or file. The item then appears in your Subscriptions. Instead of navigating through the repository to find the item, you can access it quickly through Subscriptions.

When you open or view an item through Subscriptions, the item is retrieved from its original repository location.

You can have Webtop send a notification to your Inbox whenever a subscribed item is checked in. You can turn notifications on and off on an item by item basis. Your system administrator might have configured Webtop to notify you of other events besides checkin. Ask your administrator.
