Data Path Change to Network Drive - OpenLab CDS Version 2.4

Hello, running OpenLAB CDS 2.4 we want to change the results data path to a networked drive. The project is on the local C drive, there seems to be no easy option to do this? Do we have to create a whole new project to achieve this, can the project be on C drive and the file path some where else on the network.

 

Thank you

Glenn

  • Hello,

     

    In OpenLab CDS 2.4 it is not possible to configure the project root storage path to be anything but a local folder. If you wish to have centralized data storage then I would recommend that you consider upgrading to a client/server implementation of the software. 

     

    For future reference, if you wish to change your project root storage path then in the OpenLab Control Panel you would need to go to Administration>System Configuration>Edit System Settings. You then would need to select File System from the dropdown for available storage types. On the next page you will be able to change the storage path, but it is only possible to do so if you currently have no projects configured in the system:
