Xinet refers to what you see immediately after you log in to the server as Home (using the Marquee theme). This is where you can see the folders to which you have access.
From Home you can search folders using the Xinet search engine or browse previews of the assets inside folders.
The Browse mode interface allows you to look over multiple assets and folders in your Xinet volumes, and with proper permission, to use the various features described in this chapter. In
Browse mode, folders appear in alphabetical order, with files at the same level in the file structure listed beneath.
Contact your Administrator to set your view preferences. For more information, see the “Giving a user Web access to a volume” in the Administration Guide. Also note that the display of the following views can be altered by the Administrator in the Xinet Administration view.
