Uploading of files with mutiple tabs within the same folder/project

Uploading of files with mutiple tabs within the same folder/project Mark2  2015-03-24 12:31

I have 3 Tabs in one project area. In each Tab I added in the web part "Files". When I upload a file in Tab1 it is also shown in Tab2 and Tab3.

How do I restrict this so that any file that get uploaded in a specific tab is only shown in that tab. Can someone show me or point me to an example of how this can be done.


Thanks in advance

Hi Mark,

The Files Web Part is only specific to the Project and Folder level. Since the Tabs are all apart of the same project/folder, all of those File Web Parts will display the same information.

Can you give us some more details as to what you're trying to do here where you need to have three different file locations for each respective tab?

Regards,

Jon

Thanks Jon for your response

"Can you give us some more details as to what you're trying to do here where you need to have three different file locations for each respective tab? "

So each tab represents a different lab and those in that lab will go to upload files and input information:

Tab1 will be reserved for folks from the RNAseq lab to upload files and meta information regarding RNAseq for the same Project 111
Tab2 will be reserved for folks from the flow lab to upload files and meta information regarding flow cytometry for the same Project 111
Tab3 will be reserved for folks from the genotyping lab to upload files and meta information regarding genotyping for the same Project 111

So now I dont want the RNAseq folks getting confused with files that was uploaded by flow folks in Tab2 when they go into Tab1 etc.

Thanks again.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the additional information.

So it would be best in this case for you to create three separate folders under one project, one for each assay you're working on. This way your file uploads will be kept separate along with your three assays. Does this make sense?

Jon
