The Critical Care and Medicine Database has an Outlook Public Folder. It can be found at:

  • Public Folders -> All Public Folders -> Critical Care and Medicine Database

If you cant see any of the content there you likely don't have permission to it.

First time access

To make public folders visible in Outlook, click the "Folder List" button in the bottom left corner in outlook. This will add the "Public Folders" element to your content tree in the top left corner.

General Info

Permissions / Folder nesting

Garry suggests strongly that we not nest folders more than 1 layer deep, because if we do then Permissions become messy to manage.

Size Restrictions

  • sizes for individual files are restricted to 10MB
  • size for full folder is restricted to 2TB

Start Date

  • March 22, 2018

Contact

  • content: your usual contact for the content you are looking at, e.g. the statistician for reports
  • access: email Pagasa Torres
  • set up and configuration: eHealth Service desk in General, but Garry Preachuck is who helped us get this set up.

Background

The Critical Care and Medicine Database needs a way to distribute its reports to the different groups of people that should have access to them. Each report has a different group of recipients. The roles that should receive the reports remain relatively stable, but the actual people change frequently. File shares are not adequate because of their cumbersome eHealth access rights process - we have to ask for someone to change the rights, and they are not easily reviewed by us.

A Public folder allows us to manage permissions ourselves.

Where do we want to go with this?

Template:Discussion How do we want to use it? Made category Category:Public Folder that should be added to pages describing processes using this. We should probably meet and show and tell. Ttenbergen 11:35, 2018 March 22 (CDT)
