Manage Published Folders

Published folders are used to organize published resources and to facilitate the filtering options. For example, you can configure filtering options for a specific folder and then move the published resources under the new folder so the filtering settings are inherited. For more information see Filtering Rules by User, Client, IP, MAC, and Gateway.

To publish a folder:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Publishing category and then click the Add icon below the Published Resources tree. This will launch the publishing wizard.
2. On the first page, select Folder and click Next.
3. Specify a folder name, an optional description, and change the icon if desired.
4. Click Finish to publish the folder.

Managing published folders

To modify an existing published folder, select it in the Published Resources tree. Use the tab pages in the right pane to specify the folder properties as follows:

• The Information tab page displays the folder information (read-only).
• The Sites tab page specifies through which sites the published folder is available.
• The Folder tab page specifies the folder name and description.
• The Filtering tab page specifies the filtering options. The filtering options will be inherited by all other published resources in that folder.

Adding published resources to a folder

To add a published resource to a folder, select the published resource in the Published Resources tree and drag to the folder.
