▪Document
▪Tabs
In the Document tab, you have the ability to assign specific properties to the block configuration.
In the basic settings, you can define the document's link type:
▪Copy to database
▪Insert a file system link
▪Insert (Web) URL
Link type |
Meaning |
|---|---|
Copy to database |
When copying to the database, take into account that the status of the document is saved. Changes outside TiCon are therefore not taken into account. Copying also influences the size of the database. |
Insert a file system link |
A link refers to the current file in the file system. Linking does not influence the size of the database. |
Insert (Web) URL |
Here, a reference to an Internet or intranet site with an individual description can be saved with an element. |
Depending on the link type, further settings can be made.
For Copy to database and Create file system link, file extensions, i.e. the file type, can be restricted.
For "Copy to database", the maximum file size [MB] can additionally be predefined.
Maximum file size
If the "Maximum file size" [MB] column is empty, the corresponding file extension is not subject to any size restrictions.
File extensions
▪If no file extension is entered, any type of file can be saved.
▪Once file extensions have been defined, only files of these file types can be saved.
▪Multiple file extensions can be listed separated by a comma , or semicolon ;.
▪The usual Windows placeholders (question mark (?) for any character and asterisk (*) for any number of characters) can also be used for file extensions.
Comment
▪A comment can be entered in the "Comment" column to describe the file extensions. This column is only monolingual, as this is only information for the administrator.

The restrictions on file extensions and maximum file size are a part of the
