As you see, you can connect any directory in the document management system to an Open
8
ERP resource. The system then manages its creation and keeps the directory synchronized with the
9
reports generated by Open ERP from its own data. You don't have to create or rename these
10
directories because Open ERP does all this automatically as it resychronizes with its own database.
12
You can then copy the files in the directories that correspond to any of the resources. The files
13
are automatically attached to Open ERP's documents through attachment management. Conversely, if you
14
attach a document to one of Open ERP's resources then that document will automatically become visible
15
over FTP in the document management system.
17
.. note:: File storage
19
If you don't install the document management system then the files that are attached to an Open
20
ERP resource are stored directly in the database.
21
Once the document management system has been installed,
22
the contents of the files are no longer stored in the database but are stored instead on the Open
23
ERP server filesystem in a directory named 'filestore'.
25
You can then read and add attachments to Open ERP resources quite independently of the Open ERP
26
interface or the FTP server using simple drag and drop.
