Example: Creating a BOX for collaboration

User1 has developed an interface between VendorA and VendorB and must share this with their peers. To do this:

  1. User1 opens Network Configurator and selects the two threads that are used in the interface.
  2. User1 right-clicks and selects Create Box from the context menu.
  3. On the dialog box, User1 names the BOX "User1_Box" and adds a description of “Interface created by User1.”
  4. User1 needs to include master site and root level resources. After clicking Next, User1 selects Include non-current site resources.
  5. To share this BOX with users that may not have master site enabled, User1 selects Replicate and package as current site resources.
  6. User1 clicks Next to go to the next page. User1 has no additional files to add to the BOX, and clicks Finish. The BOX is created.

Now, User1 needs to export this to a BOX file for sharing.

  1. When User1 opens the BOX Manager, User1 sees "User1_Box" in the list and selects it. The BOX is created. Now User1 needs to export this to a BOX file for sharing.
  2. User1 specifies the destination directory C:\TEMP.
  3. User1 does not assign a password to the BOX.
  4. User1 clicks OK. The User1_Box.box file is created in C:\TEMP for User1 to share with others.
