Working with File Management

View the following page by navigating to Migrate > File Management from the Syniti Migrate Homepage. This page contains one panel as a list of the active files for the project. These files are associated as a download file or a link. The files may be Images, word documents, PDF, Excel spreadsheets, and etc.

The purpose of these options are as follows:

• The file links reduce the overall size required to store large documents.

• The file links provide an added level of security to the client that their files may be stored on their servers rather than in the Migration system

Limitations for File Size

File Management is meant to store simple files, and it does not work without limitations to file size. The file for upload must be under 4,000KB (4MB) for the upload to be successful. Larger files display a clocking to show that they are being uploaded. Should the file exceed the limitation of 4,000KB, and error message displays for the user to cancel their action.

Should the size of the file be excessively large, the system locks and the user must back out of the action by a click on the Back Arrow icon. A confirm message displays "Are you sure you want to close this window? You will lose all unsaved changes." Click OK to proceed.
