Example

The following figure shows an example of the properties of a Documents component:

You must choose from the list of standard simulation categories in which the document will be saved—Product, Content, Specification, Internal Data, Results, or Validated Data. Custom categories are not supported. When the user uploads a file, a new document is created in the selected simulation category, and the file is checked into that document. The user can upload files from only their local file system; the user cannot upload files from other 3DEXPERIENCE apps, such as 3DSearch.

The following figure shows the resulting output in the customized simulation template:
