Creating a Shared SmartBin

Media is not moved between the server and bin; instead, media is mapped into the
two directory structures — a process known as "mirroring".

1. Click the

New Bin

icon on the Bin toolbar.

2. In the SmartBin Type drop-down list, select

Shared SmartBin

.

3. Click

Browse

to the right of the Server Path field.

The Select Server Bin window appears.

4. Select the bin to map with and click

OK.

5. Click

OK

to create the SmartBin.

Once the mapping association is made, the SmartBin Service automatically keeps the
bins synchronized.
