When added to the <Diskgroup> node, this setting specifies an alternate location for the descdata.dat file. This file populates the Scan Acquisition Server's Document Description drop-down with the values most frequently used for indexing. By default, descdata.dat is stored in the Path location, allowing the file to be unique to each user.
To share descdata.dat across users, use the DescriptionPath setting to specify a shared location for document descriptions. Workstation users need read and write access to this location.
For example, the following would allow descdata.dat to be stored in C:\SAS\Descriptions:
<DescriptionPath><![CDATA[C:\SAS\Descriptions]]></DescriptionPath>
