Uploading files

  1. Drag and drop file(s) to the file upload box. If a form accepts multiple files at once, as defined in the form creator, you can drag all the files over at once.
  2. The files will display progress bars as they upload to a staging area on the server.
  3. Clicking the submit button will:
  • move them to their archival location.
  • insert them into the checksum queue (you can instead upload a checksum(s) on the files tab)
  • insert them into the virus scanning queue
  • insert them into the processing queue if the form calls for transformations.

The files are inserted into queues because processing large files "on the fly" at upload will slow down the system and web browser, especially on large file sets.

Files tab

  1. Each file for the record is displayed on the files tab.
  2. The size of the file is displayed below the file name.
  • is "NAN" is displayed, it means the file is missing from the file system.
  1. The checksum, if available, is displayed under file size.
  • Green means everything is good
  • Yellow means that it hasn't run a checksum test yet.
  • Red means that it failed the checksum test.
  1. Physical location is below checksum
  • note: physical location is relative to the archivalPathMFCS variable in the config.ini file.
