The users collection

The users collection in the Repository contains user queries, searches, and other preferences. It contains a shared sub-collection and a sub-collection for each user.

The shared collection contains queries that are shared by all or multiple users. It contains the following sub-collections:
  • queries: any IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop queries that users have shared. There is a sub-collection for each role and group with which queries have been shared. These collections are dynamically created when queries are shared.
  • textml: any TEXTML queries that users have shared. There is a sub-collection for each role and group with which queries have been shared. These collections are dynamically created when queries are shared.
A collection for each user is dynamically created when each user first logs in. It contains the following sub-collections:
  • backup: Contains backup copies of locked objects. When a user locks objects, the collection is created and the objects are backed up to this collection at regular intervals.

    When the user releases (or revert) a lock document, the backup file is removed
