What are the "filters" set to for the Data Servers / Application / Virtual folders?

Virtual Folder  Extensions
HTML Files      HTM, HTML. 
Maintain Files  MNT. 
Master Files    ACX, MAS, FOC, (FTM?) 
HTML Files      HTM, HTML. 
HTML Files      FEX
Other Files     What goes in here? none of the above / anything else?

Are there any differences between the filtration of files to virtual folders in WF7 and WF8?

Thanks In Advance For Your Valued Insight, Doug

Thanks Tom... Can these filters be changed within our WF DS? Or are they Server Settings?

Hi Doug,
No these are virtual folders, they all reside under ibi/apps in the file system.
IBI creates the virtual folders in DS. Even if you create sub-folders, the same "virtual" folders are created by IBI.
That's it!!!

Also, I had Focexec when it should have been Procedures.
Other has everything else not included in the other 4, including graph files, png, jpg, gif, etc...

All IBI populated...
Say Hi to Marissa!!!
Tom
