Files attached to the business process forms, or to line items, will be automatically published to pre-defined folders in Unifier's Document Manager. Attachments in company-level business processes will be published to specified folders in Company Documents and those in project-level business processes will be published to folders in a project's Documents log.
Benefits
In Unifier, files that are attached to a business process form, or to its line items, from your computer or local system are uploaded, by default, to the Unpublished Documents folder in Document Manager when sent to the next workflow step or by clicking Submit in non-workflow business processes. It requires administrators to publish them from there to the Documents folder. By establishing a publish path, file attachments are directly published to pre-designated folders in the Document Manager for team members to view, comment and collaborate.
