Document Module Settings

Overview

The Document Module System Settings configures how the instance handles document interaction and storage. These settings determine where documents are stored, number of versions of a document stored, and allows warnings to be set for when file space runs low.

v8.13 Change

As of v8.13 changing the Store In setting from Database to File System will cause a system validation message. It is not recommended to change this setting in any version.
