CONTEXT #
This guide describes which file types you can upload in EG Ajour. The restriction applies across the modules, and you encounter it when you try to upload a file or a document to the system.
RELEVANCE #
You need this overview when you are going to upload files and are unsure whether the file type is supported. This applies, for example, when uploading drawings, documents, images, CAD/BIM files or other attachments. If you know the allowed file types in advance, you avoid error messages and delays in your work.
PREREQUISITES AND REQUIREMENTS #
- You must have access to the relevant module where you want to upload a file
- The file must have one of the file types (file extensions) listed below
- Note: Even if a file type is on the list, a maximum file size or other technical restrictions may still apply in the individual module
