You create and set up file cabinets in DocuWare Configuration > Document storage > File cabinets. This requires the Manage file cabinets functional right, which is granted in DocuWare Configurations > User Management.
The main components of a file cabinet, such as its fields, are predefined. You combine them modularly into store dialogs, search dialogs, and result lists.
Access security is covered by predefined default profiles for the common use cases: read, edit, and administration. You assign these profiles to individual users and to roles.
Beyond the predefined components, you can adapt a file cabinet further, for example by creating additional fields, assigning select lists to fields, or defining your own lists.
