CDEbox Overview
Users can access CDEbox.com from a desktop, laptop, or tablet device. The California Department of Education (CDE) has established CDEbox as its communication and collaboration cloud service.
Project folders within CDEbox for School Facilities are established by county, district, school, and finally by project.
CDE has established the CDEbox for School Facilities folder structure, and file-naming conventions, which all CDEbox users must adhere to. Additionally, access and permissions within CDEbox are controlled by CDE.
All project collaborators have viewing permissions for all folders and files within the project folder. However, after a project has been approved, the project folder will be locked to prevent any changes and will serve as an archived version of the project as approved by CDE.
CDEbox for School Facilities Folder Structure
CDE controls the administration of CDEbox, including the permissions, the folder structure, and the folder naming conventions within CDEbox.
The folder structure is broken down as follows:
-
County
- School District (Local Educational Agency)
- School Name
- Project ID (DP_PTN_Project Type) - Primary folder for each individual project
This folder structure has been created to allow for reporting, sorting, and viewing of ongoing projects based on these four criteria, and to provide the ability to “drill down” to locate a specific project. The figure illustrates the standard folder structure (PDF).
