Create resource directory

To work with data sources in MashZone NextGen Feed Editor that are file-based, such as Excel spreadsheets, CSV files or XML files, you must store the files in a resource directory that the Integrated MashZone NextGen Server knows. This can be the default resource directory:

MashZoneNG-install/mashzone/data/resources

Or it can be any subdirectory of the default.

You can also use resource directories to control access to data source files to specific users or groups.

Procedure

  1. Open the MashZone NextGen Admin Console.
  2. Click File resource -> File resource to open the resource alias page.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Give the directory an alias name of your choice in the Resource directory input box.

    You cannot modify the alias name later.

  5. Enter the Path of the new resource directory.
  6. Click Add resource.

The new resource directory is created and is displayed in the list with the specified alias.
