File Management

File management holds the files uploaded to the space: images used in animations, the script and style files of custom HTML screens, report templates, documents.

Files are listed as a tree under subdirectories.

Columns

Column	Description
Name	The record’s name, max 100 characters
Dsc	Description, max 255 characters
File Name	The file’s name on disk
Size (KB)	The file size
Type	The content type
Published	Whether the file can be fetched by path
Subdirectory	The subdirectory it sits in

The toolbar holds refresh, delete, edit, add, clone, filter and download. The filter panel searches by name and by published state.

What Published means

A file marked Published can be fetched by its relative path. When it is not marked, that same path answers “file not found” — the file is still there, it is simply not served from that path.

This is what decides how a screen reaches a file: when a custom HTML screen or an animation calls an image or a script by path, that file has to be published.

Publish deliberately

Not every uploaded file needs publishing. Publish only the files a screen genuinely calls by path; the rest stay in the list and can be downloaded from here without opening a path to the outside.

A SHA-256 checksum is kept for every file, which is how a change of content is noticed.
