Types of document are used to categorize linked documents in order to:

• Sort and filter them according to type of content,
• Place attachments in different storage locations,
• Limit the size of attachments according to the needs.

They are common to the entire application.

 

The attachment of a linked document can be:

• A Web URL stored in the database,
• A file address also stored in the database,
• A saved file, the location of which will be decided by the CARL Source administrator.

 

In the case of a saved file, the type of document thus allows you to:

• specify the storage location. For example: plans will be stored in different directories.
• specify a size limit. For example, you can consider that a drawing file may be as large as 2 MB whereas a photo or invoice must not exceed 500 KB.
