Using the Web Interface, employees can download and upload Commit documents which are located on your server, directly from the browser.
In order to allow file downloads and uploads, you should first enable file download and upload to allow the Web Interface Service to access the documents for downloads and uploads.
To enable uploads and downloads, go to Tools > Options > Web Interface:
Setting Download and Upload Options
In this window an administrator user can determine whether Web Interface users will be able to download and upload documents:
| • | Check the Enable file downloads over the Web option to allow files download |
| • | Check the Enable file uploads over the Web option to allow files uploads |
In any case, both for download and for upload, the administrator should also take care of folders mapping (see below).
Document Folders Mapping
In order to allow file downloads and uploads, you should first map the folder locations for the documents, so that the Web Interface Service will be able to access them for download and uploads. You can also define folders which will deny access, in case you need to protect sensitive information from being accessed via the web interface.
The Commit Document files can be physically stored in various places on your server. The system has a default documents folder (as mapped in Tools > Options > Documents > Default Document Folder), which is usually physically located on the server. Note that the documents UNC path in the Document's properties is stored in the same way the client PCs sees it.
When the Web Interface tries to access a file on the server, this is done via the Web Interface service, running on your server. This means that the paths that are specified in the document properties in Commit will probably not be comprehensible to the Web Interface Service running on your server.
For the service to be able to access these files, you need to 'teach' the server how to access the files locally, when encountering a mapped drive in the file path.
To setup the documents folders mapping settings, go to Tools > Options > Web Interface:
Web Interface Options Window
To map the folders, click the Setup folder mappings button to open the download folders settings window:
