A Shared Database can be used in the same way as your local database, but also allows multiple users to access the same database at the same time. The folders in your Shared Database can be private to an individual, shared with a subset of users, or shared with all database users, and users can be given read or write access to documents as required.
This section provides an overview of what you need to know to connect to and use an existing Shared Database. More information on setting up a Shared Database and administering access to folders is available in sections 20.2.1 and 20.2.2 .
