Imaging - Cold Storage

Overview – Cold Storage

Cold storage allows the user to store any report printed from either CMiC Enterprise screens or CMiC JSP modules. Reports stored using this method can be reviewed and opened via the Image Manager. 

The advantage of cold storage versus manually saving a previewed report is that the report will be saved on a server in one of the predefined cold storage directories according to the document type defined, so that they can easily be found and accessed at a later date. This also means that the document can be retrieved using the image search function available within screens.

There are two types of cold storage – PM document cold storage and other documents cold storage. 

PM cold storage – This will automatically attach the report to the project so it becomes part of the project documentation plus make it available via the Imaging module.

Other documents cold storage works in CMiC Enterprise screens and other JSP modules. This option stores the document along with the flysheet key data in the Imaging module.
