NetDocuments Training: Updates to Admin Console

Recently, as part of the web refresh, NetDocuments changed the admin console.  Here are some of the changes.  The changes are mostly in layout and not in functionality.  Things are laid out in a more logical order and are easier to read and adjust now.

The first change isn’t really a new change, but just a reminder that the Admin navigation panel is now under the Hamburger Icon in the upper left corner (1 in the illustration below), exactly like the user interface.  There is also the ability to pin the navigation bar open (2 in the illustration  below).

On the first tab, “Information and Settings” the same information is presented, but just spread out a bit over the full page instead of in a straight column (3 in the illustration below).  You will find this is the change with most of the Admin console areas.  Same functionality, just presented in a format that is easier to work with.

There is now a new Security Center tab to help administer the Encryption Key and FlexStore information if you have that option enabled.

Most of the changes have centered around working with the Profile Attributes.  The Profile Attributes page located in the Admin Console is used to create, edit, re-order, and delete profile attributes found within the repository.
