---++ Introduction
We have created a standardized location for electronic documents.  The original purpose was for storing Purchase Orders and quotes in a shared repository.  We now use it for any ST attachments (see: RTEmailGateway), Equipment Notes (see below) and many other files.  It can also be used for other files that you would like to have shared within CSCF.

---+++ Where to find them
You can find them here:
   * https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CFPrivate/MachineNotes
   * Was: https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/internal/edocs/

or via Samba here:
   * \\smb-files.cs.uwaterloo.ca\edocs\
      [ Needs review/update: smbclient -c "cd rtattach/57967; ls" //smb-files/edocs
      Enter xxx's password: yyyyyyyy
      session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE]

or via NFS on cscf.cs here:
   * /autofs/www/cscf/edocs

---+++ Required permissions
You will need to be a member of [[https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/about/staff][CSCF]] or MFCF staff to view these documents

See: [[https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CF/NewCoopStudents#ST_and_eDocs_access][Providing ST and eDocs access]] for how to update that list


---++ Equipment Notes


There is a new feature in the Inventory system that will display a link to web page in the Equipment Notes folder of eDocs.  We currently have three categories:
   1 Machines - basically computers, named based on the "Name:" field in inventory.  Links to that name can be created based on Cnames in DNS
   2 Printers - any printers we manage.  Named based on the "Name:" field in inventory.  Links to that name can be created based on queue names in print.cs and Samba
   3 Other - any other network-addressable equipment - network switches, KVMs, sensors, etc.

   * see EquipmentNotes for more details

---++ ST Attachments


---++ FAQ.

---+++ Q. My account is not allowed to read the ST attachments over HTTP.
   * A. Try SMB, =smbclient -c "cd rtattach/57967; ls" //smb-files/edocs=.
   * A2: Also make sure that when you create:
      * directories in eDocs that you create them with at least g+rx or, preferably, g+rwx
      * files in eDocs that you create them with at least g+r or, preferably, g+rw
