Upload a file

For instructions on how to upload files into Asset Manager, please see the help topic Asset Manager.

Download a file

Currently, there is no download feature built into the application. That said, each file can be directly accessed for download via its direct URL. To determine the exact URL for the file you wish to download, follow the steps below:

Determine the location of the file in the Asset Manager

The location will typically be in either the 'Shared Media Folder' or in a numbered folder, where the number represents the study ID.

1. If the file is located in the 'Shared Media Folder', the URL to access it is as follows:
   • https://{panelurl}/mediaserver/shared/{filename}
   • Note: {filename} can include any sub directories that were created.
   • Example:
     • https://www.panelname.com/mediaserver/shared/file.zip
     • https://www.panelname.com/mediaserver/shared/subfolder/otherfile.txt
2. If the file is located in a numbered folder, or is only accessible via a study's Asset Manager, the URL to access the file would be as follows:
   • https://{panelurl}/mediaserver/{StudyID}/{FolderType}/{filename}
   • Note: {filename} can include any subdirectories that were created and {FolderType} is usually one of 'documents', 'images', or 'media'.
   • Example:
     • • https://www.panelname.com/mediaserver/2/documents/file.zip
       • https://www.panelname.com/mediaserver/51/images/subfolder/otherfile.jpg
       • https://www.panelname.com/mediaserver/37/media/differentsubfolder/anotherfile.wmv
   • To determine the Study ID:
     • Go to any question text in your study.
     • Click the Image Manager Icon.
     • Study ID is shown in the Path provided in the Image Manager window. In the example below, the Study Id is 102:
