Files & Documents - Catalogue and archive warranties, certificates, licences, receipts, invoices, photos, videos, etc.

How to Access Files

Click the “Upload” button (top-left corner) and select the file you wish to upload. Alternatively, you may simply drag-and-drop your file to the designated drop-zone on the top.

How to Register Files/Documents details

In the files card-view, simply click any file-card to access the file properties.

You may now edit and change any of the file properties.

1. Filename: the filename of your uploaded file is automatically used here. Renaming it here renames the file stored in the server so that any further downloads (by you or sharing-users) will get you a file named as defined hereby

2. Name: how you wish to identify this document/photo/video/etc. Better use something descriptive since this name will appear on various lists and reports later on. This does not rename the stored file

3. Boat: the boat which the respective file concerns

4. Issuance date: the date the file was issued (e.g. the official protocol date of an inspection certificate, a licence, etc)

5. Issued by: the authority/company of the file’s issuer (e.g. coastguard)

6. Expiration date: in case the file/document has an expiration date, make sure to register it here. This is crucial for you to know (see it in your tables, reports, dashboard, etc) and be notified (alert), when files/documents such as licences, certificates, etc, are about to expire. Do not add any lead-time for you to be notified in advance. We got this covered for you and you will be additionally notified X days/weeks/months before this Expiration Date, based on what you configure on the “Reminder” field. Of course, you will still be notified on this Expiration date too
   

1. Reminder: what good will it be to get notified only when something has already expired? Furthermore to the expiration date, you may define here the lead time you wish to get an early alert notification. This can assist you to plan and schedule in advance any needed actions (e.g. an appointment for an inspection and re-certification)
   

7. Notes: add anything that might be helpful to be kept in the file/document record (e.g. details of a photo taken for a damage to be claimed). This field is searchable and thus traceable when you are searching for a specific word/number/name contained here (e.g. a name of a technician, details about a spare part, compatible parts, etc)
   

In short, you are strongly advised to include as much info as you can. Also, please pay special attention to the Expiration date and Reminder. Putting the right info can assist you enormously by sending an Alert to you and your designated contacts before it might be too late! It might look a bit of extra work for you now but it will come handy for both you and your appointed contacts (e.g. family/skipper/technician/marina) to know in advance and plan accordingly!
