This article is for BrightWork 365 Release February 2023 (v1.6) and newer.
Introduction
Documents in BrightWork 365 are stored in your SharePoint Online site. During the installation of BrightWork 365 the SharePoint site and accompanying document library were created for the environment. A folder in this document library will get created for every new project. With appropriate permissions you can view all the folders directly in the environment's SharePoint Online site.
Documents Tab
The Documents tab is where you can create new Microsoft Office documents and upload existing documents. These files are stored in your organization's SharePoint document library that is associated with BrightWork 365.
- By default, files deleted from the Documents tab will be permanently deleted from the SharePoint site associated with BrightWork 365 and cannot be restored from a recycle bin. Contact your Microsoft Support representative to discuss activating the associated SharePoint Recycle bin to be able to restore deleted documents.
- SharePoint has an indexing limit that is reached when a document library contains more than 5000 items. If you receive a message about the SharePoint throttling limit being exceeded, see this article.
Large Documents
Documents larger than 50 MB will need to be uploaded directly to the associated SharePoint Online site instead of the Documents section of the record. To upload these documents:
- Go to the record's Documents tab and use the drop-down in Document Location to click on Documents on Default Site. You will be taken to the associated SharePoint Online location.
- Choose Upload to upload the file. The file will upload even if it is larger than 50 MB.
Related Documents
You can also view a record's documents by clicking Related | Documents in the menu bar.
