Cirrata DIM Basics - Overview
Cirrata DIM is a powerful and
intuitive tool that allows Users to organize and share information with
others in a secure and straightforward manner. Cirrata DIM looks,
feels and acts just like folders on your Microsoft operating system desktop. However,
unlike folders on your desktop, Cirrata DIM Folders are available to you anytime,
anywhere and from any Internet connection and can be shared and protected on
a case by case basis. The Cirrata Repository
is divided into 2 sections: o
Private Area - only for the Cirrata User o
Public Area - area where Cirrata User can
share documents and folders Note: The Public Area, which is a
sub-section of the Private Area is fully controlled by the Cirrata User and
will remain private until it is shared with a specific participant The Cirrata Repository is organized into 4 sub directories: o
Documents - area for the Cirrata User to
keep private documents (Cirrata User only) o
Syncs - area where Mirrored Folders are
kept (Cirrata User only) o

directories to be shared with others (Shared) o
