You can share, download or view files from different folders at once using the collection folder in Prostream.
A folder has been added in Prostream in which you can temporarily store documents. Regardless of the type of document or other metadata, you can add files from different folders, or even directly from your search results, to your collection folder. The files also remain in their original place.
You can then add several actions at once from the collection folder. Think of viewing, sharing or viewing 3D models together in the BIM viewer.
The documents remain in the collection folder until you delete them. You do this by selecting the documents and clicking Delete. The files are then only removed from the collection folder and remain in the project or organization.
Downloading files from the collection folder
Do you have several files in your collection folder that you would like to download all at once? Then select all (or make a selection of) files in the collection folder and press Download. Prostream creates a ZIP file with your selected files and the download starts immediately. After downloading, you can unzip the ZIP file, which will turn it into a regular folder containing the files you downloaded.
💡 You may find that the internet browser you are using automatically unzips the ZIP file and makes it a regular folder. That can be very convenient, as you can access the downloaded files right away. On the other hand, do you really need a ZIP file? Then it might help to try downloading the from the collection folder in a different browser.
