It would be really nice to some similar mechanism (e.g. folders) for
organizing reports as well.

By department

Then by staff member

Then by project

 

Cheers

I was thinking the same thing. It could be organized by owner, project
(a new field), global, etc.  How do you see the hierarchy groupings?

We are actually looking at this problem now, folders would be a really
welcome addition to object packages (that is to say, a hierarchical
organization for object packages).

 

Our present plan is to expose a web interface for un/archiving object
packages on demand (we already have such an interface for transferring
object packages to our DAM).

 

My other thought was to treat global object packages like a communal
fridge -- periodically (2x year?) turning all global object packages
(with some exception) non-global, and letting people bug my department
when they need it (or use the web interface) to turn object packages
back on.
