Storage and association of FILES AND DOCUMENTS to  a Project, WorkRequests or any other "Channel" function is an optional feature in WorkNET or other Spectrum Group software packages.

Channel requests can now have files uploaded to them and downloaded from them.

When files are enabled in a channel, AND enabled for a request, a new feature section on the right side of a request lists the most recently added files, and provides a link to the file management screen for that request.  From there, files can be listed, uploaded, and downloaded.

Each request has its own file space, and file number sequence.  File numbering has been simplified to a simple six-digit number.  Revisions are not supported, but file revisions can be uploaded as newer file numbers.  Additional file types have been added, including audio (MP3), GZIP, and a number of image formats (JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF).

Uploading is a simple, two-step process.

• The file record is created.

  • Once the record is created, the user is offered an upload menu.

  • The user chooses the file type, browses to the file, and clicks upload.

• Once a file has been uploaded, the upload menu is replaced with a download link and download counter.

Operation is quite simple, and intuitive.
