UPLOADER
Controlled file delivery to your WebNative Suite server    Download Toolsheet

 

Xinet® WebNative® Suite Uploader offers a way for off-site staff and contractors to deliver files to your WebNative Suite environment without having direct access to your server.

Feature Overview

While your customers, contractors and other off-site personnel may
not require daily access to your WebNative Suite server, having the ability to upload deliverables exactly where you want them can be very convenient for them—and for you. As a stand-alone desktop application, the Xinet Uploader provides an efficient drag-and-drop mechanism for delivering files and folders to a WebNative Suite server within predetermined parameters, and notifying you at the same time.

 

Create Uploaders with Uploader Manager

A standard component of your WebNative Suite
installation, Uploader Manager provides a simple method for creating and managing individual Uploader applications. The Xinet Configuration Wizard guides you through the process of creating as many Uploader applications as you need. Once created, they can be distribute via e-mail to one or many users.

 

Customize Uploader for Every User

Every Uploader application is customized to an individual
user’s requirements. By selecting from different configuration
options within the application, you specify exactly how the application will perform by establishing:

  • Whether or not this user must provide a password to upload files
  • The exact destination on your server where files from this user will be delivered
  • Whether or not this user can choose to upload files to subfolders of the destination folder
  • To whom an e-mail notification will be sent when a file is uploaded by this user, if such notification is needed
  • Once your criteria are complete, you can specify whether the application is for a Mac or Windows user, or both of these. As a way to provide a distinct look and feel for individual customers, the Uploader application icon is customizable.

     

    Duplicate and Distribute Freely

    Each Uploader application has its own unique configuration specific to the WebNative Suite login, and the number of Uploaders you may distribute is unlimited. You can even duplicate an existing Uploader for multiple users with identical requirements.

     

    Require Metadata for Every File

    Many contractors are asked to provide specific metadata when delivering files for a project, such as copyright information, byline or comments about an asset.

    The Uploader provides a simple way to include metadata with every file. Optionally, you can configure a user’s permissions to require that metadata be entered for any file delivered to the WebNative Suite server. When a user attempts to upload a file that does not contain the required metadata, the Uploader application displays a window, shown at right, asking that metadata be provided.

    Because metadata requirements can change within your organization, Uploader applications can be configured to automatically reflect these changes so off-site Uploader users are sure to stay current with their unique metadata requirements.

     

    Metadata Required to Upload: Fields displayed in red are required before this user can upload files. The Uploader will deliver these files only when the required metadata is included.

     

    Automate E-mail Notification

    Every time a document is delivered from an outside source via the Uploader, an automatic e-mail can be sent to a designated recipient as notification of the delivery. The details of the e-mail are established at the time the Uploader is created, such as:

  • Which information is included in the e-mail—only information about the file, all metadata associated with the file, or only the required metadata
  • Who will receive e-mail notification each time a file is received on the server
  • Whether or not the user may send the report to additional e-mail recipients
  • Three standard templates for e-mail reports are provided with the Uploader Manager, and you may also create your own templates for further customization.

     

    Automatic E-mail Notification: The information provided in automatic e-mail reports is determined by the administrator at the time the Uploader is created. These reports are customizable.

     

    Offer Simple, Drag-and-Drop File Delivery

    For off-site staff, the Uploader application is a simple and efficient means of delivering files directly to a WebNative Suite server by simply dragging and dropping them to a preconfigured desktop icon.

    Automatic e-mail notification alerts those who need to be updated with the current status of deliverables. It couldn’t be easier than that.
