Documents

Accessible by every DataSight user, Documents provide an area for document management within your DataSight database. Documents can be used to capture files that relate to the purpose of a project, and as such it is well worth populating this area of DataSight from the outset.

  • Documents can store raw data files, reports, PDF files, site documentation, hyperlinks, images, videos, maps and much more.
  • Any document loaded to your database can be linked to a specific level.
  • While importing data, the raw data file is attached to the specific Level 3 the data is being imported to. This ensures that no matter what modifications are later applied to the data, the original raw data file remains secure.
