Important Considerations about Attachments

1) Folder and File Names

Do not use an apostrophe or quotation marks in your folder or file names

2) Multiple Users

If you have multiple users accessing the Standards Manager, the attachments need to be copied or moved into the shared Attachment folder prior to be linked from within the Standards Manager.  This will ensure that all users can open links within the Standards Manager

3) Sharing the Standards Manager with your Surveyors

The surveyors can either use the Standards Manager at your location on your PC or you can Package your data and attachments using the Package Data feature and distribute it to them via CD-ROM or USB drive.  If your documentation is structured on a web server, see the next section for other considerations.

4) Web page references

www

If the documents being referenced are located on the Internet the URL or address should be copied from the browser and pasted directly into the Survey Preparation Question box where it relates the question being asked

Internal Portals

If the documents are HTML and can be accessed from Windows Explorer then they can be linked as attachments.  This method will allow all supporting documents to be Packaged, using the Package Data feature for distribution to Surveyors and for backup purposes.

 

If the documents are only accessible through the Internet browser (Internet Explorer or other browser) then they should not be linked as attachments but rather the URL or address should be copied from the browser and pasted directly into the Survey Preparation Question box where it relates the question being asked. The internal portal will have to be accessible to the surveyors in order for the pasted links to work correctly.
