Documents

Overview

Empower supports unlimited document/attachment assignments for any database object. Documents are specified by their path and file name, and can optionally contain a Title and Type to help describe the document.

Documents associated with any objects in the Empower database, can be either vaulted or non-vaulted documents.

Types	Description
Vaulted Documents	Document information is managed in and by the Empower database. Vaulted documents require "Check-out" and "Check-in" functions to make modifications to the document.
Non-vaulted Documents	Document items are links to existing files (typically in a shared file area/directory)

To assign documents to Service objects, select the Documents tab from the Service Object form.

Section	Description
Toolbar	Quick access to common Document functions
Document List	Current listing of associated documents
Filter/Navigator	Quick filter for displaying specific documents in the document list

Each document will contain action icons.

Each document will contain a hyperlink on the file name that will download the file when clicked.

When enabled by the Administrator, you will also see a "view" icon, which will allow you to view the file in the browser without forcing a download. Note: the file type must be able to be viewed directly by the browser or via a browser plug-in.

An icon will appear next to each document to indicate the document type.

Icon	Type
	Document is a linked document
	Document is a vaulted document
	Vaulted document is checked out

Please refer to the Document Management section for more information on all document functions.
