Files

ERPHY can store any type of files. For every file ERPHY creates its own document. Files can be found in the Registries section.

After registration you already have some files by default. As you can see, all pictures have thumbnails:

By default files are displayed as miniatures, but if you click this icon - they will be displayed as a table.

Adding files

To add a file into ERPHY first of all you need to select the category that the file will be related to. If you don’t do this, it will automatically be the last selected category, or the root category. Then click this button , and select one or more files. You can upload up to ten files at a time.

Search files

To search the file input a part of its name into the search field, and click Enter.

External access

All files by default are not accessible from the outside of ERPHY system. But sometimes you need to make them externally accessible - for example, product pictures must be accessible for online store.
In the thumbnails mode the file with the external access is marked with a Share icon like this:
