Project Documents Overview

The purpose of the Project Documents module is to provide the user with easy access to information related to the project, such as protocols, blank forms, training materials, guidelines, etc. Documents are grouped according to their Document Category and Document Type as defined in the Administration tab.

 

If a document is not listed, check:

  1. Administration tab: Is there a Document Category and Document Type for this document?
  2. On the Project Defaults tab of the Document Type module, is the Available on all Projects field checked?
  3. If this field is not checked, is the document added to the project on the Project Tables > Project Document Types?
  4. If so, a user with the proper permissions can add the document type into this module, Project Documents (see below).

 

To add a record, select Active under the Records filter and click , or to edit or view a record, click , which opens the Document module. To find an item, enter a word or string in the Search filter. To remove all search options, click the button.

 

 

Download Documents

To download an individual document, click next to the document that you want to download. Click to download all documents that have been uploaded or linked, which will place them into a zip file. This button will be hidden when the Enable Document Export to Zip File Configuration Variable is set to False, which can be found in the Administration tab, either in the System Configuration, Domain Configuration, or Project Configuration modules and the Documents configuration group. Administrators can place a password on documents to prevent them from being downloaded by entering a value in the Report Zip Password configuration variable under the Reports configuration group.
