Implementation

You can create folders, set access permissions for folders, upload files, rename folders, delete files and folders, and download files from the console. When a folder is created, a unique Folder ID is created for it. Similarly, whenever a file is uploaded to a folder, a unique File ID is created automatically for it. A file or a folder can be referred to by its ID number when working with the SDKs.

Create a Folder

To create a folder in Catalyst:

1. Navigate to Storage in the Catalyst Cloud Scale console, then File Store.

2. In the Folders page, click Create Folder.
   
   

3. Enter the folder name in the Create Folder pop-up window.
   
   

4. Click Create
   The folder is now created and a unique Folder ID is assigned to the folder. You can view the folder in the Folders page, which lists all the folders in the File Store, along with their properties like Folder Name, ID, PII/ePHI validator status, Created By, and Created Date. You can now upload files to this folder.

Upload a File into a Folder

To upload a file to a folder in Catalyst:

1. In the Folder page in File Store, click the name of the folder you need to upload the file to.
2. In the folder’s page, click Upload Files.
   
   
3. In the pop-up window, select the files to upload from your system.
   
   
4. Click Open.
   
   The file will now be uploaded to the folder. You will be able to view the upload status at the bottom of the page.
   

The file will now be uploaded to the folder. The File ID is created automatically for the file once it is uploaded. You can view the file in the folder page, which lists all the files in the folder and some of their properties including File Name, ID, Created By, Created Date, and Size.

You can search for a file in the folder using the Search Files search bar.

Set Permissions for a Folder

As discussed in the introduction, you can set permissions for a folder and define the access level granted to each user role for each folder. The three access permissions are:

• Download: The user roles with the Download permission enabled for a folder can download the entire folder or the folder’s contents to their computers.
• Upload: The user roles with the Upload permission enabled for a folder can upload files into the folder from their computers.
• Delete: The user roles with the Delete permission enabled for a folder can delete the entire folder or folder’s contents.

2. Click the check boxes in the pop-up window to enable or disable Download, Upload, and Delete permissions for each user role.
