Adding a file
If the user has proper credentials to add files to the system, the portal provides several ways to upload files.
Browse a local computer file
Select a place to upload the file, then select a file by hitting the Browse button. The system will ask you if you want to rename the file within or not a selected list.
From the scanned file center
The “Scanned files option” list all files that have been scanned using an external device and directly uploaded in on the server. From there, user can transfer these files to the member’s profile. But this component requires a Portal option to be activated by AirSupervision’s IT specifically for the organization.
Select a place to upload the file, then choose from the scanned files center, if portal option have been set, the user can also rename the file.

The filename
Renaming the file using the dropdown combo box to whether select a predefined name or start typing a new name. Space character is not allowed in file name. AirSupervision will automatically sanitize the filename, such as removing any special character, punctuation or accent by replacing or escaping them.
While copying or dropping a file, in a folder or at the root that contains another file with the exact filename name and file extension, the system automatically add at the end of the new filename the actual date and time as follow:
filename + YmdHis + “.” + fileextention
Y : A full numeric representation of a year, at least 4 digits
m : Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros
d : Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros
H : 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros
i : Minutes with leading zeros
s : Seconds with leading zeros
