Transactional Workspaces

(Requires HTTP/S, Workspaces ) A Transactional Workspaces is a special kind of Workspace that results from sending a file for pick up from the EFT Outlook Add-In or Drop-Off portal. The recipient only has download permission on the file(s) received. Transactional Workspace participants cannot see each other and cannot subscribe to notifications.

This Workspace is different from normal Workspaces in that a Transactional Workspace:

  • Accepts anonymous access, if the administrator allows it and the owner/sender chooses

    • Contains folders in the VFS that have been shared via public links (unregistered users) and have an exclamation point on the anonymous-access folder

  • Grants permission to download only

  • Can't have participants added post creation

  • Owner will have little power over it once created

  • Is private access, in that participants can't see each other and can't subscribe to notifications (although owner/sender can)

  • Is represented in the VFS tab using the Subject line and the sender's username

  • Is represented differently in the WTC

  • Content gets deleted when it expires

  • Is more likely to have a shorter maximum expiration period than regular Workspaces

  • Supports self-expiring, single-use file links, which are not supported in regular Workspaces
