IT Network File Configuration Standards
Our network file configuration is as follows:
- MyWork (mapped to the U-drive)
- GroupWork (mapped to the S-drive)
- <dept abbreviation>_files
- <dept abbreviation>_<purpose>
- Note: use this format for specialized shares (formerly known as “private” or “ad-hoc”) with limited access permissions (subset of full department)
- Note: “purpose” should be a brief meaningful indication of the nature of this share; use lower case with no embedded blanks (use underscore as necessary as a separator)
- For example, IT_searches or IT_budgets
- GC_<purpose>
- Note: use this format for specialized shares that cross department boundaries
- Note: “purpose” should be a brief meaningful indication of the nature of this share; use lower case with no embedded blanks (use underscore as necessary as a separator)
- For example, GC_middlestates or GC_print_dropbox
- <dept abbreviation>_scans
- Student_faxes
- Course_<username>_<course prefix & number>
- Note: use this format for faculty that request a location for sharing files (typically course materials) with students; use lower case with no embedded blanks (use underscore as necessary as a separator)
- Note: first option is BlackBoard; second option is WFS; third option is file share
- ArchiveSpaces (mapped to the T-drive)
- MyArchive (for individual archives, to be implemented by request)
- GroupArchive (for departmental archives, to be by request)
- <dept abbreviation>_archive
