Upload from Your Computer dialog

Use the Upload from Your Computer dialog to transfer a file from your computer to the System Repository.

NOTE: Depending on the task you used to open this dialog, not all fields will be present.

Select File

Type the name of the file or click Browse to navigate to and select the file you want to transfer.

File Display Name

Type a friendly display name for the system to use when displaying the file in system files. Be default, the application will use the filename as the friendly name.

Description

(Optional) Type a description of the file.

MD5 Checksum in Hex

(Optional) Type the file's checksum value in hexadecimal format. (Use a tool or utility to compute the MD5 checksum, or use the checksum provided by the provider of the file.) When the Enterprise server receives the file, it will calculate the file's checksum value itself and compare it to what you enter here, as a way of ensuring that the file arrived intact.

Permanent File

(Optional) Unless specified as permanent, the file will eventually be automatically deleted from the System Repository and moved out to the system's historical data. If you want the file to remain in the System Repository permanently, select this check box. (See Manually deleting files from the System Repository.)

Best Practice for
"permanent files"

Be judicious in designating a file as permanent. When too many files are made permanent, the System Repository will eventually fill up.

Used in Software Package

(Optional) If the file you are uploading will be used in a software package, select this check box.
