Product: Intralinks Designer
Applies to: Managers and publishers
Intralinks Designer provides an easy way to organize and manage the content and users of your VDRs. This Windows-based application acts as a staging area for creating and setting up new Intralinks VDRs and modifying existing VDRs.
Using Intralinks Designer, you can:
- Create new VDRs
- Make changes to VDR settings
- Add new content from your local drives
- View and update existing VDR content
- Reorder VDR content items
- Delete content from the Intralinks VDR
- Set users’ permissions to use documents
- Add, remove and synchronize user information with other databases
- Configure and manage custom fields for documents, as well as apply these fields to new and existing documents
When you have finished staging the VDR and updating user information, you can upload the new or modified information to the Intralinks primary service.
Using Intralinks Designer, you can index and freeze VDR s. You can use the indexing feature to clearly order your content and as a way to easily reference to specific content. For example, you can distinguish among exact copies of the same document in multiple locations on your VDR by its unique index number. Freezing a VDR in Intralinks Designer enables you to retain the order of existing VDR content.
Intralinks Designer can be used by VDR managers (those with the Manager Plus, Hidden Manager Plus and Manager roles) and those with the Publisher Plus role.
Intralinks Designer terms
- Intralinks primary service - The Web-based Intralinks VDRs that users will log into, and not the VDRs viewed in Intralinks Designer. Think of the Intralinks primary service as the original versions of your VDRs; the versions you view in Intralinks Designer are copies that you are free to change. When you upload these changes, your original VDRs are updated.
- Content item - This term or either word used alone, refers to the folders and documents that appear on your VDRs.
