File formats

InEight Document supports the storage and distribution of multiple formats for the same controlled document at the same revision and status.

When viewing the document register, 4 file format columns are displayed (the default settings are PDF, MSO, DWG and OTHER). Each file format column has one or more file types (defined by document file extension) associated with it.

As documents are uploaded to InEight Document, the system auto detects the file type extensions of the included view files and in the master document register, shows an icon in the appropriate file format column to show of the existence of this file format.

This can only be edited at the start of a new project and before any documents are uploaded to the system.

To modify the primary file format settings:

1. From the Configuration tables select Format Codes.

   

2. The default 4 options (and 4 is the maximum) are listed.

3. Click on any of the current formats and edit the details as required:

   • Modify the Caption and Sequence (controls the column position from left to right) as required.

   • Use the Add/Remove buttons to associate the required file formats with the caption.

4. Click Save.
