You can download multiple files attached to distribution orders in ALIM Web. The downloaded files are saved in a compressed (zip) file, and stored in a predefined location.

Note: The ALIM Distribute Engine .NET Assembly engine is required, in order to support download jobs.

Note: The Publisher - File Download Job Type engine must be enabled in AssetWise System Management Console.

Note: The maximum number of files that can be downloaded is 500, with a maximum combined file size of 10 Gb.

Follow these steps to download files in a distribution order.

Open the distribution order from which you want to download files.
Expand the Files topic to list the attached files.
Click Download Files ( ).
The Download Files dialog appears. For example,
If you want to generate cover sheets for all transmittals in a distribution order, select Include cover sheet(s).
Note: This option only appears if you are downloading files for a distribution order and the distribution order has an associated cover sheet template. For more information about cover sheets, see Cover Sheets.
If required, choose the Grouping for the files. Select either Group in folders by document, or No grouping (all files into one folder).
If required, expand the Naming topic. The naming options appear. For example,

In the Select files to download list, select each file that you want to download, and then click Download.
Once the download has completed, refresh the page in order to update the cover sheet hyperlink in the Transmittals topic list.

If only one file is selected, it is downloaded. If more than one file is selected, a compressed .zip file of all selected files, is downloaded and saved into your Favorites and an email is sent to the person who initiated the download.

Note: Cover sheets are included in the downloaded .zip file, if selected.

Note: If you want to download only the cover sheets, then select Include cover sheet(s) and remove the selection for each file.
