This notice from the Technology Support Center went out to all faculty and staff, but since it will have a major impact on most anyone who’s on campus working on Friday, I thought I’d repost:
Royal Drive (also known as Xythos) will be unavailable on Friday, June 13th, from 8 am until approximately 5 pm in order to upgrade and integrate it with Active Directory. We apologize for the inconvenience, however due to the necessity of the vendor, this must be scheduled during normal business hours. Please plan accordingly. If you have questions about this upgrade please contact the Technology Support Center at (570) 941-4357 or techsupport@scranton.edu.
New features will include:
- Thumbnail view – shows a small image preview of the file
- Quick view – launches a new screen with a larger view of the file and includes metadata
- Mobile web view – allows you to manage, view, upload, share, and search documents within the Xythos repository
- Bookmarks – moved to a link in the main menu; allows you to create a bookmark folder and add bookmarks to it
- Folder tagging – now you can tag folders as well as files
- Advanced upload for classified files – upload files and folders and have classification applied at the time of the upload
- Workflow options – set automatic workflow tasks forwarding to other users while they are out-of-office
- And more …..
