Adding a Workspace Document

 

The workspace-level Documents application displays documents specific to the current workspace. With appropriate permissions (Create, Edit and Delete Own Documents - given to team members by default), you can add a document to your workspace from the Documents application.

You can only upload files with file types allowed by your enterprise's whitelist or blacklist. The default whitelist of approved file types is is CSV, DOC, DOCX, DOT, DOTX, GIF, HTM, HTML, JPE, JPEG, JPG, MPP, MPX, MSG, PDF, PNG, PPT, PPTX, TIF, TXT, XLS, XLSX, TIFF, XML, and ZIP. The default blacklist of disallowed file types is BAT, BIN, COM, DLL, EXE, JAR, VBS, and WAR. Your enterprise may have a custom whitelist/blacklist. For more information about your enterprise's whitelist/blacklist, please contact your Changepoint PPM administrator.
