A file store is a directory that contains content files. It is the basic storage type of a repository. Each file store has a corresponding location object. You can create a location object pointing to the file system directory that corresponds to the file store before creating the file store or you can select the location while creating the file store. In the latter case, Documentum Administrator creates the location object for you.

For information about creating, viewing, or modifying file stores, refer to Creating, viewing, or modifying file stores.
