Uploading files to tasks (assets upload)*

Introduction

This manual will focus on uploading files (media file, script, etc) to orders.

Files are uploaded to tasks, therefor, a designated task will be available in the order from which you will upload the file.

After uploading the file, the task must be completed to finalize the task.

For every file you upload, you must first select the: Upload defaults, File type, and File description from a list of preset options.

The Upload defaults can be pre-selected and populated from the Workflow template’s defaults, or open for selection by the user that uploads the file.

It is recommended to pre-set the the “Upload defaults” so users will not have to make selections

Uploading files to tasks in a single order

To upload files to tasks in a single order:

  1. Navigate to the Order tasks page (fig 4).

  2. Click the “Add file” button (fig 5) of the task you want to upload the file/s to.

On the upload page:

  1. Select the mandatory Upload defaults: File type, and File description (fig 1).
    As mentioned, these fields might have been auto populated from the workflow template default settings.
    The upload defaults can be pre-selected and locked for editing, as in the example below, or open for selection so the user can select them in order to continue.

  2. Once the File type and description fields are populated, the “Select files” button will be available (fig 3).
    Be aware of the allowed extensions for the task (fig 2).

  3. Free text can be added before uploading the file to add additional information about the file (fig 4).

To upload files to multiple orders, navigate to: Sales > Sales dashboard > Tasks page.

If you don’t have the “Sales” menu, navigate to: Supervisor > Resource allocation to task page

Please note: clicking “Upload to tasks” will enable uploading files to all tasks displayed on the current page only.
If the tasks are displayed on more than one page, click “Upload to asks” once on every page or increase the items per page.

As mentioned before, Upload defaults: File type and File description are mandatory settings for uploading files. If any of the tasks in the range do not have preset Upload defaults, you will be navigated to a preliminary page in which you will be required to enter the Upload defaults for all the missing tasks.
