Getting Started with the Web Client

The OpenText Tempo Box Web client lets you access the contents of your Tempo Box folder using a browser. You can use the Web client to manage the items and folders in your Tempo Box folder, share folders and respond to sharing invitations from other users, as well as create and assign tasks.

To browse your Tempo Box folder, click a folder name to advance through the structure. Click a link in the bread crumb trail to go back or click All Files in the left pane to jump to the root of your Tempo Box folder.

When you select a folder, the name of the folder you are currently viewing, along with the folder owner, appears in the right pane. If you select a shared folder, a list of the collaborators also appears in the right pane. In the following example, you can see a shared folder named Templates where the folder owner’s name is Peter Day. This folder has three collaborators. For more information on shared folders, see Sharing Folders and Responding to a Sharing Invitation.

You can also assign tasks within a folder. While viewing the contents of the folder, click TASKS in the right pane to create a task or update the status of a task. For more information on tasks, see Creating and Managing Tasks. To return to the list of collaborators, click COLLABORATORS.
