Documents¶
Cases can have uploaded documents and generated documents. Uploaded documents come from a person or an integration; generated documents are produced by the process.
Uploaded documents¶
Use the documents panel or an input-document step to:
- upload a file or a folder;
- add comments about the upload;
- replace or add a new version, when the process allows it;
- preview or download the file.
Input-document steps are part of the case flow. Complete them like any other step and then continue with Opening a case.
Generated documents¶
Output-document steps generate files from the process. From the case you can:
- generate the document;
- preview it;
- download it.
The available formats and templates are defined by the process designer.
Versions and archives¶
The documents panel shows the versions of a document and any archived copies. Use the version history to compare what changed; use the archive to retrieve an older file.
Document permissions
Uploading, downloading, and versioning can have different permissions. If a button is missing, ask your administrator to review your role.
