Overview

To manage resources in our system, we offer a cloud storage solution where resources can be available for different operations. This feature is the Upload folders and it serves different purposes depending on the configuration.

Creating a new record

To access the list of upload folder navigate to Configuration > Resources > Upload Folders

Before managing the content, you need to create a new record with:

• The name has to be unique
• Description (optional and just for your understanding)
• Folder (this has to be a folder name that will be created in the server so it has to also be unique)
• Active
• Valid (this will be evaluated according to the folder)
• Post Processor System Name: We support different plugins, so if there is a plugin enabled that works with upload folders it will appear here
• Custom Data Category Id: this is used to link files and related data by the plugins

After adding an entry you can manage the content by clicking the "Manage" button in the row.
