Hi Halvdan Sounds great and a good alternative! I'd like to work through an example or two:
We have annual performance plans made up of multiple quarterly reports so I would expect there to be 2 data sets: - Annual Performance Plans (fYear) - Quarterly Performance Reports (fQuarter) If we configure these data sets to include a single data element of type 'Text' what name would we give to this element? 'Document' or 'File'? We're currently experimenting with ownCloud for document storage as an interim solution. I guess nothing stops us from loading the ownCloud URL into datavalue.value?
