Cloaked folders not honoured in folder history

Post by Jadams » Wed Jun 21, 2006 11:08 am

Checking folder history of parent folder shows changes for cloaked folders. This is not as expected...

Is this a deliberate design decision?

Cloaking is a setting by user, not global. Users cloak folders primarily to skip that folder in recursive operations. Cloaking does not "lock" that folder from modifications.

If you want to prevent changes to a folder, you can use Pin. Or you can use Folder Security to restrict user access to that folder.

Perhaps I misunderstood your question. Do you want history results to skip cloaked folders?

This isn't available in Vault, but I could log it as a feature request.

The second suggestion was correct.
