Filebox

With the help of the Filebox, files can be stored and archived in different areas of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This requires setting up the filebox in the Setup.
Each file that is stored in the filebox must be assigned a filebox category. These can be created in the Filebox Categories and indicate which category code the stored file is created with in the connected DMS.
Files can be moved to the filebox via drag & drop or via Choose files to upload. In the Filebox file list, all stored files for the selected data set can be viewed and downloaded.

Note

The Filebox-Download can be deactivated/activated in the Setup.

In addition to files, other attachments can be uploaded to the filebox. However, no Filebox Export Entries are created for created links or notes.
Files can be uploaded to Filebox in simple or advanced mode.

Note

The mode can be selected in the Setup.
