File actions

Add files

To register file(s), the usual way is to press an action button directly above the list or select it from the action menu (blue icon). Remember that in order to register a file, an object must have been selected from the filter above. The file will be linked to that object. One or more files can be added at a time and they can be dragged to the drop zone in the action, otherwise the user can tap inside the drop zone to retrieve files from his / her computer (file drive). 

Action to add files has been opened from action menu

Open file

Once a file has been registered in the system, a record for it will be displayed in the document / drawing / picture list. The green button on the left opens the file properties i.e. information about the file type, the location of the file on a server etc. If the user wants to view / open the file itself, he must click on the file icon from the list or run an action from the action menu called Open selected file.
