File manager
RamBase is built around the concept of documents that flow from one business process to another. For example, a request for a quote is forwarded to a quote, and then to an order and shipping advice. These processes create documents, and you can upload files as attachments to these documents.
Use the File manager (FILEMANAGER) application to manage files and link them to documents in RamBase. Select the 
icon in the upper right corner in RamBase and select Filemanager. You can also click the F9 key from any application to open the File manager application.
