Filestore
Filestore Overview
The Filestore module enables tenant users to manage image files in a centralized and organized repository. It allows users to upload, categorize, and use images across various platform modules, such as assessments and branding elements. By maintaining a structured filestore, tenants can ensure consistency, enhance efficiency, and align their visual assets with organizational branding.
Key Features and Functionalities
1. Folder Management
- Purpose: Folders help in systematically organizing uploaded images for easy access and efficient categorization.
- How to Use:
- Create folders to structure images based on organizational needs, such as projects, assessments, or departments.
Steps to Create and Manage Folders:

- Save the folder.
- Organize by Moving Files (Optional):
- Drag and drop uploaded files into the relevant folders, or use the move option provided in the interface.
- Edit or Delete Folders:
- Select a folder to rename or delete it. Renaming can help improve categorization, and deletion removes unused folders to maintain clarity.

3. Image Usage
Uploaded images in the Filestore can be utilized across the platform in various modules, ensuring consistency and enhancing visual appeal.
How Images Can Be Used:

- Embed images into campaign designs or result pages for branding or illustrative purposes.
- Branding and Customization:
- Use images to align assessment designs with the organization's branding.
