What is the Document Library?

The Document Library is Traffio's solution to general cloud storage. This means that users of the Traffio web app can create and organise folders, and upload files to those folders. These folders and files will then be available for viewing/download by field-workers in the Traffio mobile app.

The Document Library is one-way (web app to mobile app), meaning that mobile users can only view and download files, not upload or delete them.

The Document Library will be improved over time, with new features on the way.


The User Interface (Web App)

  • Can be accessed from the My Company > Document Library menu.

  • The red area is the Folder Panel.

    • This is where your created folders exist.

    • You can select a folder by clicking on it.

    • You can create a new folder by clicking the +New button.

  • The green area is the Folder and File List Panel.
