File Manager

The Work Area is a personal space allowing users to directly manage (i.e. to store, create, modify & delete) files, folders, images, datasheets or any other files related to a catalog. It ensures the product attributes are accurate and complete by storing and updating information in one central repository.

The browser window displays the name, size, date the file or folder was created/updated and icons/symbols representing various operations that can be performed specifically to the file/folder.

Upload File(s)

The process of transferring a file from your file system to your Work Area via the Work Area browser is referred to as Upload. This option allows users to directly add files to the Work Area. While only one file can be uploaded at a time, there is no restriction on the file type.
