Deposit external document via drag & drop

A document can refer directly to a file located externally on a drive. When the document is opened in Aeneis, the linked file is opened.

Instructions in the WebModeller:

1. Open the WebModeller

2. (Optional) In the Master Data | Documents area, create a new document or select an existing one.

3. Attach the file, which is located externally on a drive, in the document in one of the following ways:

   • Drag and drop the file from the document directory (e.g. Windows Explorer) onto a document or onto a document folder in the model overview. When you drag the file to a document folder, a new object is created under the document folder (see also Document category for documents). If you drag the file onto a document, the file will be attached to the document.

     

   • Drag and drop the file from the document directory (e.g. Windows Explorer) into the WebModeller to the File name property of the document:

Document category for documents

When you drag and drop files onto a folder, an object is automatically created in which the file is stored. The object category for the new object with the attached file is determined as follows:

1. the first category referenced in the Children attribute and having the Base URI attribute (GUID 73e4b32acf5b3b94:1ce79b8:fd909204c7:-7fe6)

2. the first category referenced in a model object list attribute that is visible in the model tree and has the Base URI attribute (GUID 73e4b32acf5b3b94:1ce79b8:fd909204c7:-7fe6)

3. the first category referenced in a model object list attribute that has the Base URI attribute (GUID 73e4b32acf5b3b94:1ce79b8:fd909204c7:-7fe6)
