Introduction

Output file(s) that are generated from Qbyte Metrix processes are saved within the Qbyte Metrix database. The File Repository screen allows users to view, download, and delete these output files.

The File Repository screen can be accessed via the File Repository link at the top right-hand corner of the Qbyte Metrix application.

File Repository

This screen allows users to view, download and delete all output files generated by Qbyte Metrix. All users are allowed access to this screen. The ability to download and/or delete a generated output file is controlled by the security component FileRepository. Users with View Access or Full Access to the security component FileRepository can click on the File Name to download and view the contents of the file. In addition, users with Full Access can delete any unwanted files. See Security Component section below for more information. Note: Standard Windows File Associations need to be set up to allow for the Open option to be available. Filenames can only be saved/downloaded one at a time.

By default, only the files created within the last three months will be displayed. To see a list of all files the user can click the Display All button. (Note: Displaying all files may take some time for the larger clients or clients that have been using Qbyte Metrix a long time, but it should not be an unreasonable amount of time.) When displaying all files the user can revert displaying just the files from the last three months by clicking the Display Last 3 Months button (which replaced the Display All button once the Display All button was clicked).

To delete files, select the files to be deleted by clicking the checkbox in the Select column and clicking the Delete button.

The following shows the screen after the Display All button has been clicked.

File Repository Grid Columns

File Repository Grid Columns

Select	Select files to be deleted. Note: This column will be disabled when the user does not have access to delete files (does not have Full Access to security component FileRepository).
Output Date	The date associated with the file that was created. This could be a Production Date or a Financial Date.
Output Type	Identifies the generated file by the submitted process.
File Name	The name of the file generated. Clicking one of the links in this column will provide standard browser options to open and save the file.

File Size	The size of the file generated.
