The folders enabled for synchronizing will appear separately at the below path in your local device storage in the same structure as in your Asite project:

'C' drive / Users / <user_name> / aSync / <project_name>

To publish new files via aSync, go to the aSync project folder path in your local device storage and place a copy of the new file in the related project folder.

Publish new files manually on Asite Cloud via aSync

To publish new files via aSync, you can go to the aSync project folder path in your local device storage and place a copy of the new file you need to publish in the related project folder.

Once the required file/s to publish are available in your local aSync project folder, aSync will track them once you're logged in and your aSync window will update accordingly.

If your aSync preference is set to 'Automatic Sync records' and the selected project folder is not enabled for 'simple upload' you can still publish the files manually by entering attributes. In such a scenario, an 'Open' button will appear at the top right of your aSync window.

Click the 'Open' button to fill in attribute details for the new file identified in your local aSync project folder.

At the top, you can find details of the new file identified for upload, including the file name, folder path where it will be published, and the project name.

Capture required file details.

  • Depending on the configurable attributes the project administrator defines for the selected folder, you may need to provide additional details while publishing files. If you are a project administrator, you can click here to understand how to manage configurable attributes.

If multiple files are selected for publishing, the 'Bulk Apply' option allows you to apply attributes to files in bulk.

Once you've completed the upload, click the 'Upload' button to continue. Otherwise, click 'Cancel' to return to the main aSync window.

If some or all files are not published due to connection issues, such file records will appear in the 'Error' section in the aSync window. You can go ahead and publish again once the required connection is available. aSync will always notify you whether you are online or not connected.
