Summary
The Download Manager provides a centralized location for users to track, access, and manage exported files within MindBridge. Whether exporting visualizations, data tables, or reports, the Download Manager ensures that files are readily accessible without the need to regenerate them.
This feature supports audit efficiency by streamlining access to exported content, offering greater visibility into file generation activity, and reducing duplication of effort.
Configuration details
- Access requirements: Any user with file export permissions can use the Download Manager.
- Platform availability: Available in modules where data export is supported.
- Retention policy: Files remain available in the Download Manager for a limited time (e.g., 7 or 30 days), depending on your organization's configuration.
Accessing the Download Manager
You can access the Download Manager by selecting Export next to any report or balance check. Once an export is triggered, the Download Manager displays a list of recent exports within the application. To review past exports at any time, go to the File manager and open the Exported files tab to view a complete list of files you have exported.
Export Statuses
Each export includes a status indicator to reflect its progress:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| In progress | The file is being generated. |
| Completed | The file is ready to download. |
| Failed | The export did not complete successfully. An error message will explain the issue. |
