Customizing the Explorer

In a Mongoose-based application, the Explorer window contains these folders:

• Master Explorer: The All Forms folder is read-only and lists every form in the forms database. Other folders in the Master Explorer are created by the Vendor Developers who build a Mongoose-based application.
• Public Folders: Initially, the Public Folders folder is empty. When a Mongoose-based application is deployed, developers with Site Developer editing permissions can create public folders available to all users. For example, a form can be distributed to all users or to a group of users by copying it into a public folder.
• User Folders: User folders are created automatically by the application when users log on. User folders mirror each user's My Folders folder and are displayed only to developers with Site Developer editing permissions. Site Developers can also edit user folders, and any changes are reflected in the user's My Folder folder. For example, a user can be sent a form by copying it into his or her user folder. The user sees the copied form in his or her My Folders folder.
• My Folders: The My Folders folder is created automatically by the application when a user logs on. All users can display and modify their own My Folders folder. For example, users can create new subfolders within My Folders, can copy or delete forms in My Folders, and can change the caption of a form in My Folders. (The caption of the opened form is not affected.) Consequently, changes made to a user folder by a Site Developer are not secure because each user can subsequently modify the My Folders folder.
