Watermark

The electronic files of the documents in this category will display watermarks.

In the Configuration field, select the configuration of the watermark that will be applied to the electronic files.

File type

Define the type of electronic file that can be associated with the documents of the category:

• Single: It will be possible to associate only one electronic file per document.
• Multiple: It will be possible to associate several electronic files with the same document.
• Complex: It will be possible to associate complex files with the document. In the Complex file container field, select the container in which the files that will be associated with the documents will be stored.

In the Electronic file section of the document, the options to add, delete, and edit items in the complex file container structure will be enabled.

Require electronic file

It will not be possible to successfully release the document if it does not have at least one electronic file associated.

Publish PDF files

The electronic files of documents of the category will be converted to PDF once they are associated or released. If the category already has recorded documents (that have not been converted to PDF), they will be added to the conversion queue.

Check one of the following options to define the configuration of the extensions to be converted:

• Use default configuration: The electronic files with the extensions specified in the general parameters will be converted to PDF. Hover the mouse over the icon placed next to this option to view the supported extensions.
• Convert the following formats: Perform a specific configuration of file extensions that should be converted to PDF. In this case, in the field next to it, check the options that correspond to the desired extensions. If the document has an electronic file with an extension that is not set up in this field, even if its extension is compatible with the PDF conversion resource, it will not be converted. The configuration performed in this field will overwrite the default configuration.

Database

Select this option so that the electronic files of the documents of this category are stored in a database during this step. In this case, the files will always be saved in a compressed mode.  
In PostgreSQL environments, it will not be possible to store files with 30 MB or more. In this case, we recommend selecting the controlled directory option and configuring the system accordingly.

Controlled directory

• Writing mode: Define whether the electronic files will be stored regularly or in a compressed form.
• Path: Select the controlled directory in which the electronic files will be stored. It is possible to create a different folder for each status. Thus, as the document status is edited (for example, a new revision is created, and the revision is no longer current), the electronic files will be copied to the folder that corresponds to the status in which the document is found. Use the other buttons next to the field to add a new controlled directory and use it to store the files in the current step and clear the field.
