The Job Linked Files functionality in Framework allows companies to save job related Framework documents in either the standard Framework folder (typically \[fw folder]\JobFiles\) or a custom folder location. By saving documents that relate to a particular job under these folders, users of Framework and Framework Logistics Tablet can view these documents from within the software.
Some companies do not use the standard Framework Job Files naming convention of Job number. Some companies like to use other Job File naming conventions (i.e. Lot number). Framework only supports this second process via the manual allocation of the Job file path to the job.
To manually allocate a Job File location to a Job not using the standard Framework Job Files naming convention of Job number, you:
- In the Production Management module of Framework (the initial module you log into in Framework ECM), select the Client\Job Overview
- Click on the Edit button on the bottom left-hand side of the screen
- On the right-hand side of the screen, under the linked Files heading, toggle the Custom? field to Yes
- Click on the drop-down menu to launch File Explorer
- Navigate to the folder location and click OK to Save
- The custom Job location is now saved against the job
- Any files located in the custom job folder can be viewed within Framework ECM from the following screen:
