Upload Documents
With PowerWeb, you can upload files to the vault either as new documents, to replace the content in existing documents, or as new or updated renditions.
Note:
-
To upload more than one document at a time, the ActiveX compatibility mode option must be enabled as described in Personal Preferences.
-
If errors occur while uploading large files, a system administrator might need to configure the web server to accept larger files than the default size.
-
The document type that is assigned to imported documents is determined by the following precedence:
-
Document type assigned to the file extension.
-
Default document type of the active vault if available in the active scope.
-
Default document type assigned to the active scope.
Use these steps for PowerWeb.
To upload files as new documents in the vault:
Note:
-
To prevent errors, the document must be in a released workflow state or the vault must be customized to release the document upon replacement of the content.
-
By default, the redlines for the existing document content will be deleted. If the redlines should be retained (to check that changes to the document have been done properly, for example) consult a system administrator about disabling this behavior.
To upload a file to replace the content of an existing document in the vault:
-
Locate the document for which you want to replace its content.
-
In a navigation view, right-click the name of the document and on the shortcut menu that appears, point to Document and then click Replace Content.
The Replace Content dialog box appears.
-
Click Browse and select the file that you want to upload.
-
Click Yes.
To upload a file as a rendition of an existing document in the vault:
-
Locate the document for which you want to upload its rendition.
-
Choose between two options:
-
-
In a navigation view, right-click the name of the document and on the shortcut menu that appears, point to Document and then click Attach Rendition.
-
If a rendition is already attached to the document, click Upload Rendition.
The corresponding dialog box appears.
-
Click Browse and select the file that you want to upload.
-
Click Yes.
The file is uploaded to the selected document as its rendition.
Use these steps for PowerUser.
