Saving Project Files
Hello,
We have opted to not allow users to save their project files to the server but would like to know if there is a way to set a default location on a network shared drive where the .gvsp files can be saved.
It's ok if users opt to save them locally to their hard drives or to their working directories, but is there a way to set the application so all users are initially prompted to save their files in S:\Geocortex_Projects\ or something like that?

Hi Scott,
The Projects folder lives in the Sites folder, which is located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\Projects" in a default installation. While I don't believe you can move just the Projects folder, you can move the entire Sites folder to a shared drive, which will effectively move the Projects folder as well (it will remain inside the Sites folder). To do this, copy your Sites folder to the shared drive (ie S:\Sites), and then update the following key in both the REST web.config and the Manager web.config files to point to your new location:
<add key="gcx.io.fileSystem.path" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites" />
The web.config files can be found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\REST\Web.config", and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Manager\Web.config" respectively.
*Note that you'll also have to update the permissions on the shared drive so that the Essentials and Manager applications can read/write to it. There are instructions on how to do this in thte following article: https://support.geocortex.com/file-permissions-for-geocortex-essentials-rest-elements.
