RAVE allows you to create your own files folder(s) with their own permission sets, with the option of saving a folder template to load your folders automatically into any future job, or as required. These customisable folders are displayed in a teal colour vs the black of our default/set folders.
To create a new files folder:
- From the Files sub-tab, we click on the ‘New Folder’ button at the top right of the page
- Then via the 'Add New Folder' pop-up, we give our new folder a name
- Next, we set the folder's viewing (access) and upload permissions.
We have three internal permissions:- The ‘Project Staff’ permission - only allows Office Staff, as listed on the project's ‘People's tab, to view and access this folder.
- The ‘Branch Owner’ option - only allows those with Branch Owner permissions to view and access this folder.
- The ‘All Branch Staff’ permission - allows all banch staff users (office staff and projec managers) to view and access this folder.
We have four external permissions - 'Site Manager', 'Site Staff', 'Client(s)' and 'Contractors' - None' - no visibility/no access - is the default access level for external permissions
- ‘View Only’ - in which they can access/view but cannot upload any files to this folder
- ‘Upload & View Own’ - meaning they can only view the documents they have uploaded to this folder
- ‘Upload & View All’ - where they can view all the files in this folder + upload files to this folder too
- Once you are happy with the folder name and the access/viewing permissions - click the 'Save Changes' button to confirm
- This will create your new customised folder
To edit (the name or viewing/access permissions) or delete a customised folder:
Only the teal-coloured/customisable folders can be edited - (change the folder name and viewing/access permissions).
To edit a your customised folder:
- From the Files sub-tab, scroll down the page until you find your customised folder name
- Look over to the right-hand side of the page, and click 'Edit' button to left-hand side of the page
- This will open the Edit Folder pop-up window - allowing you to update your name and viewing/access permission details as required.
- Once you've made all necessary changes, click the 'Save Changes' button to confirm, or 'Cancel' to cancel the update.
To create a sub-folder (within a customisable folder):
You also have the ability to add a subfolder(s) of any customisable folder.
To add a sub-folder:- From the Files sub-tab, scroll down the page until you find your customised folder
- Click on the 'Add a Sub-Folder' button, found below the folder name
- This will open the 'Add a Sub-Folder' pop-up window - allowing you to give your sub-folder a name
Note: Unlike a customisable folder, the sub-folders viewing/access permissions mirror the parent folders permissions - these are NOT editable at a sub-folder level.
Once you've named your sub-folder, click the 'Save Changes' button to confirm, or 'Cancel' to cancel the action.
To edit a sub-folder:
- Look over to the right-hand side of the page, and click the 'Edit' button
- This will open the 'Edit Sub-Folder' pop-up window - allowing you to update your sub-folders name
Again, unlike a customisable folder, the sub-folders viewing/access permissions mirror the parent folders permissions - these are NOT editable at a sub-folder level.
To delete a folder or sub-folder:- Look over to the right-hand side of the sub-folder click the 'drop-down' option to the right of the 'Edit' button
- Click 'Delete' and confirm the deletion by clicking the pop-ups 'OK' button
