Uploading files to link to a Job

Sometimes it can be useful to link files to a Job e.g. screen dumps of error messages. There are two ways you can do this:

• After updating/adding a Job you will be shown a link to "Upload files to link to this Job"
• Select Linked Files from the main menu - this only allows you to add files to a Job if it already has some linked files

We will assume you have just updated a Job and clicked on the link "Upload files to link to this Job". This will open a new window which allows you to to select the file you wish to be uploaded and enter a short description."

When the Upload button is clicked, the system will transfer the file to the location you have specified as your upload directory and create links from the Job to this file. The file will be named according to the following format:

Where XXXXXX is the Job Id and YYY is a number starting with 0 and incrementing if there already exists a linked file with the same original name. For example, if the original file is called screen.bmp and it is linked to Job Id 200, then the Linked file will be saved with a name of 0000200_screen_000.bmp
