Infostoria Workgroups Walkthrough 

1. Set Up Infostoria on a Server

Install Infostoria on a server machine. The team edition of the product can be installed on a regular PC running Windows.

2. Create a Workgroup and Invite Members

When you login for the first time, a new workgroup is automatically created for you. You can invite other people to join the workgroup. Once other people join, they can create new workgroups of their own.

At this point, you can start sharing content by uploading it into a workgroup. Continue reading if you want to publish content from file servers.

3. Download and Install Agents

An agent installation package can be downloaded by clicking on a link in a workgroup. You can install agents on machines that contain files that you would like to appear in a workgroup. This can be a file server with videos or images, for instance.

4. Use an Agent to Publish Files

Launch the agent publisher using the Infostoria service manager icon in the Windows task bar. Use the publisher to make a local folder appear in an Infostoria workgroup.

5. Post a Forum Message

Post a forum message in the workgroup letting other members know that new content is available. People will be able view files in their browsers, search for files using key-words, reply to your forum message, and post comments for the files you published.
