Upload/Create New Docs Overview

Overview

Docwize provides users with multiple methods via various modules to create and/or upload documents. In addition, users can upload file versions, revisions and attachments.

In the Folder view of 'Explorer' module, users can:

  • ‘Drag-and-drop’ individual or multiple files, or folder(s)
  • Create Placeholder documents via the ‘New’ menu option
  • Upload individual or multiple files, or a folder via the ‘New’ menu option

In the 'New' module, users can:

  • Create or upload new document(s)

Via Records, users can:

  • Create or upload new document(s)

Via Email Influx, users can:

  • Email documents to the relevant database

Extracting Archives - ZIPs and PSTs

If users upload zips or psts, a button with ‘Extract Archive: OFF’ will appear. If users want to extract the zips or the emails within a pst archive, they can click on the button to activate the extraction. There is a limit of 10000 files per zip and a cap of 100gb on the extracted contents.

A zip upload with extract archive 'on' is several times faster than uploading the files individually.

Example: 'Bulk Uploader' dialog with 4 zips, 2 of which will be extracted in the target folder.
