Examples

By enabling the user's home directory option, documents will be placed in the users home directory by performing an LDAP lookup of the homeDirectory property.

In this example, the documents will be placed in the user's home directory

Example 2

Lookup the user's department and place documents into the correct department's folder.

In this example, the documents would be placed in a folder called the users department name
