In today's Developer Center blog Mark Guthart speaks of using Intersync to Catalog masses of old files. We have been using Intersync for the past year to catalog assets associated with jobs created since purchasing Workgroups. We use the basic setup watching folders with a Job Number, classifying these as Jobs, set-up by Professional Services at the time of purchase. This is working fine.
We have many files in various places, however, that pre-date this neat organization. Being an in-house shop for a larger corporation, older files may be picked up and reused frequently. I'd like to encourage people to move files from these locations to new job folders when appropriate using Virtual Ticket to gradually decrease the use of the older folders. Do you have any suggestions for setting up Intersync to point at these older folders? For example we have a set of folders containing jobs going back many years. Inside a folder called Archive, there are trees of folders with either descriptive names or categorized by the form numbers used on jobs. There is not a lot of consistency. They were organized manually by people previously according to what seemed best at the time. How might you set up Intersync in this scenario to look for the jobs here? Or is it better in your experience to just catalog and search by words in the paths?
I'd appreciate input from those who have dealt with this type of situation or from anyone in Professional Services reading this.
Thanks.
