Document Management Instructions
This file upload procedure was designed with an intuitive interface, and most options will be self-explanatory for users that are familiar with Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. A short description of each function is provided when you hover over a button. In this manual the main functions will be explained in more detail.

Navigating folders
To Navigate through folders, simply click on the name of the folder.

Return to the Previous Folder
Click on the folder back button that appears in the upper left corner just under the blue title bar. Please note that this button is not visible when you are in the root/main folder.

Create new Folder
Use this function to create a new subfolder in the current folder. When a subfolder is created in an MBAFILES directory, it will inherit the permission of its parent folder. For example, if you create a folder in the root of your MBAFILES directory (ex: \fulltime\babckf1), it will be publicly available on the Internet. However, if you create a folder inside your "private" or "data" directory (ex:\fulltime\babckf2\private), it will only be accessible to you.
Upload files
You can upload files to the current folder using this function. Each file slot on the upload page can contain one file you can browse for on your local machine. Click the "Upload" button to start the upload. This may take several minutes, so be patient. The upload is complete when the main listing will be displayed again, now containing the uploaded files.

Find files and folders
You can search for files and folders in the current folder by name, date (both modified and created are matched) or size. Searching all subfolders is optional.

Send to any folder
This function is similar to the Windows Powertoys feature and allows you to copy or move files directly to any folder without having to change to that folder first. You can manually enter a target folder or select one from the History list.

Rename item(s)
When you want to rename a file or folder: select the file (click in the box to the left of the name to add a check), press the Rename button and enter the new name.

Delete items
This will delete selected files and folders. When you want to delete a file or folder: select the file (click in the box to the left of the name to add a check), press the Delete button. NOTE: This will permanently delete the file. Please be careful!
Backups and File Restores:
The MBAFILES server is backed up on a nightly basis. If you need to have a file restored, please email the help desk with the following information:
  • Name of the file that needs to be restored (Ex: Final Paper.doc)
  • Name of folder that contained the file (Ex: Charlotte2003\babckf2)
  • Last date that the file was in the directory (approximate)

    • We will restore files within 48 business hours and then notify you that the file has been restored.
