Shared Files

The Shared Files Area allows you to upload, download and view any type of file for the centralization of project information across your project team. Files are not restricted by name or extension. You can upload any type of files.

The Shared Files Area is the perfect place to store project documents and files (of any type) for future reference and use by project team members and clients. For example, you can use this area to store:

Project sample plans
Central lists of focus group recruits
Project contact information
Reporting examples
Directions to your facilities
Sample files that need processing
Survey drafts
Raw image files that need formatting

Only users with the proper permissions are allowed access to the Shared Files Area and its underlying files.

Shared Files includes:

Feature	Description
Upload Files	Upload any file type into the Shared Files Area to retrieve for future use
Download Files	Download stored files in the Shared Files Area
Delete Files	Delete unwanted files in the Shared Files Area

Where do Files Get Uploaded?

Shared Files get uploaded into a shared folder under the environment you are running in. Each client as well as studies within each client will reside in the shared folder.

Shared Files
Files Reside In	Example
$LOCAL/shared/	/home/<environment>/shared/<client>/study/

Customizing the Shared Files Page

By creating an overview.html page, you can customize your Shared Files area for each project. Below is an example of a shared files overview page that contains hyperlinks to various types of files:

This section shows the overview.html file referenced above. If you want to make any customized changes, you can copy the contents of the file, make your changes and then upload it through Upload Files under the Shared Files tab. Your customizations can be as simple or complex as you need. You can include images and colors as well as hyperlinks.

NOTE: In order to implement changes to the overview.html file, you MUST have prior working knowledge of html formatting. The file name MUST be named overview.html.
