File Manager

Documents can be exchanged as files at a central location and managed on a site-specific basis.

Background

In data protection, many documents are created that must be documented in the data protection management system. These documents can often be used for all locations of an organisation or are only relevant for some locations of the organisation.

In the File Manager, you can therefore upload and manage documents as files for specific sites.

Currently, you can upload the following file types: 

  • PDF files (.pdf)
  • Text files (.txt)
  • Rich Text files (.rtf)
  • Word files (.doc / docx.)
  • Word template (.dot /.dotx)
  • Excel files (.xls /.xlsx)
  • PowerPoint (.ppt / .pptx)
  • Open Office files (.odt /.ods / .odp,)
  • Photos (.jpg / .jpeg / .png )

All other file types are blocked for upload. If you have any concerns in this context, please contact us at: support@robin-data.io.

Manage uploaded files

  1. In the main menu click on Data protection: A dropdown menu opens.
  2. In the dropdown menu click on File Manager: The table view opens.

The general functionality of the Table View is described in the article Using Table View. In the table view you can see the overview of the currently already uploaded files.

  • Only the following characters and numbers may be used in the file name:
    • All letters of the German alphabet except umlauts ä, ö, ü and ß (e.g. 01_Oeffentlicher_Dienst).

    • The underscore _ and minus - characters (e.g. 04_Attachment_K1 and 04_Attachment_K2)
    • Dots ( . ) when file names are separated from file extensions (e.g. 05_Massnahmen.docx)
