Edit

Selecting “Edit” opens the Edit Folder modal, allowing the user to update the folder title, tags, and establish if the folder should be set as pubic.

Defaults

“Defaults” is a dropdown menu option for Folders only. Clicking “Defaults” will open the Defaults for New Documents Modal, which allows the user to make customized settings for bulk uploads.

The user enters a title pre-fix instead of a title for bulk uploads.

Upload New Revision

Selecting “Upload New Revision” is used to upload a new revision of an existing file. 

You can also drag and drop a file from your computer onto the name of an existing file to upload a new revision.

Move To

Selecting “Move To” opens a modal that allows the user to move a file from its current folder to another.

Delete

Selecting “Delete” from the context menu for a file will open a Delete Document Modal that will ask the user to confirm that they want to delete the file before it is permanently deleted. Once a user selects “Delete” from the Delete Document Modal, the files have been removed.

When a file that originates in the Documents Module is later linked to another module, it needs to be disassociated before the file can be deleted. If this is the case, the deletion warning will identify where the file needs to be unlinked before deletion can occur.

Download

Selecting “Download” on the context menu for a file automatically downloads an individual file to your device.

The download is not accessible to those without permission to access it. Restrictive tags can also be used to limit access and cannot be bypassed by a user.

If the user wants to share the download of a file with an external individual, the file must be designated as public.


QR Code / Link

Selecting “QR Code / Link” on the dropdown menu opens the Direct Access Modal for individual files.
