Enable and edit the Home folder

Introduction

When you want to use the Home folder as a location you have to enable user authentication first. Only then the Home folder becomes visible in the external location list. When it is present you can edit the functionalities.

NOTE

The Home folder is a personal and secure external location, you can only use when it is configured by your IT department as part of your infrastructure. You log in on the user panel using your credentials ([User name and password] ) and only see your own home folder. When you scan to the home folder, the file is delivered on your own personal location on the network. In a typical configuration you can find the file on your workstation under the home drive.
