I'm sure you can use builder to add an item to the go to menu that would associate a group with a specific folder, but I don't know the specifics of how to go about it. However, a very simple way of directing users to a "home directory" would be to put an alias in the top level of the enterprise that points to the folder you want to direct them to. You can apply permissions to the alias so it would only appear to members of a specific group. The alias method has the advantage of being quick and easy, the disadvantage is that an alias is not universally available throughout Livelink like the "Go to..." menu is. As for slices pointing to specific types of items like documents or projects, that is a very good idea and easy to do. SubTypes will point your searches to specific areas of Livelink. For example, to create a slice for documents, sign in as Admin and go the the advanced search page. Create a query like this: "OTSubType":"144" AND "OTSubType":"136" which finds documents (144) and compound documents (136). Save your query in the slice folder of the system volume (admin.index) and your slice is now available for your users. The SubType for projects is 203. You can even apply permissions to slices so they only appear to certain groups or users. If you have custom attributes you can also create slices to search on specific attributes.

Thank you very much, I think that I didn't express very well about slices. What I want to do is if it is possible to make one slice to search only under one folder. For example If I have a folder called My_folder under the Enterprise and My_folder has another folder called Stuff. I want to make a Slice that only make a search under the folder My_folder, that includes the folder Stuff and everything under My_folder. Is this possible?.About the go to Menu, I'll try to make another function and add it to the go to menu that ask for the group and redirect him to the specified folder. Thank you very much.Carlos del Castillocastillo@auracom.com.mxThank you very much.

Hi again, another problem I have is that the go to menu could not have dynamic links, so How can I make my own func=myfunc so In that function I'll redirect the url. Another question, may be is very basic, how can I know which user is making that request so when i know the user D I can get the group and the decide to which folder I should redirect.Thank you.Carlos del Castillo Peralta.castillo@auracom.com.mx

You can create a slice for a specific folder by going to the folder you want and using the "from here" function to create and save a query. This is described on page 195 of the Livelink Administrator's Guide.
