we have a customer that had this question logged by one of their users in the Production team, please would you be able to advise if there would be any issues with us allowing this?

“Would there be any impact on IFS if we store build packs as documents? These are currently stored on Notes so we need an alternate storage location and keeping on IFS would mirror processes for other part related documents. These are .zip files, currently on notes we have 388 packs saved, total size 4866 MB. This covers a 9 year period so we wouldn't be looking to transfer all of these, but the above numbers are representative of how they would accumulate over time.”

Thank you,
Sanjith

It should not be a problem storing those zip files in Docman, if it makes sense for the customer to keep them there, rather than outside of IFS. If they for example want to connect them in various places in IFS, if they want revision control and access control, it makes sense to keep them in IFS Document Management. The total size is not too much either, but they should consider if they want to use the Database storage or any of the other options we have (to avoid the database from growing too much).

Good luck!
