But there are some basics I am struggling with, which documentation explains, but I don't seem to have the functionality.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Firstly can anyone explain the concept between a site and a space to me? I understand spaces are containers, almost like root level folders, but is the relationship with a site 1 to 1, 1 to many, many to 1, many to many etc? I haven't quite figured out that concept in my head, and as a consequence don't want to get started as it may all become undone.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Secondly, the ability to add meta data to content and version control in Alfresco Share?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Are these feature available under Alfresco Share?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 30 Oct 2011 01:32:41 GMT gazman 2011-10-30T01:32:41Z Alfresco 4 - some basics https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/alfresco-4-some-basics/m-p/257339#M210469 Hi - I recently downloaded Alfresco 4, and I am very impressed with it.

So in Alfresco Share, spaces are what you see in the Document Library.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Now Sites root is in itself a folder, it is just residing hier up in the hierarchy, and not displayed as a folder, but you can technically browse it as a folder. But avoid ding changes to that folder, for example change site Title and Description using 'Edit Site details' dialog.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>And to make it clear, everything in Alfresco is a node, just different representaitons (like a document or a folder).
