The Default Search Path for a 6.4 DiveLine Namespace is a list of logical directory names, where the order in the list dictates the order of search by DiveLine. It is a configurable path that DiveLine uses to search for files within the file system. The Default Search Path is optional and is set by an administrator, not an end user. However, each user can also have an individual user search path list defined in their profile that takes precedence over this default list. You manage user-specific search paths using DI-Config.
The default directory structure for the DiveLine server includes a root directory called dl-dataroot. Within this directory is a data directory which is the default location of all DI files such as Models, Markers, DivePlans, or DiveBooks. However, best practices reconfigure DiveLine by using aliases to specify additional directories for storing files. Once aliases are added as possible locations for DI files, you can specify the Default Search Path by which DiveLine searches these directories as it attempts to resolve file attributes when opening a Marker.
You set the system wide Default Search Paths in the 
Options section of the Server Settings > General tab (Tools > Server Settings > General > 6.4 DiveLine Namespace). Click the expand chevron to display these settings.
-
In the Default Search Paths section, click Add.
A <New Entry (1)> is entered in the Default Search Paths
field. -
Click the <New Entry (1)> to specify the search path in the format of /<directory>.
Repeat these steps to add additional directories to the default search path.
Here is an example of a populated Default Search Paths field.
NOTE:
- You can use the up and down arrows to reorder items in the list.
- The user account under which DiveLine runs on the server must have privileges to map Network drives so they are available to Workbench.
