File Management
Clicking on the [files] link for any order will bring you to the File Management page.
The Files to be Edited section contains documents that need to be edited. Right-click on the file and select “Save Target As” to save the file to your computer. Clicking on the file opens it in your browser; because not all file types are supported, we recommended saving files on your computer and then opening them.
The Completed Files section contains documents that you have edited. To send a file, click on Browse to find the file on your computer. Click on Open. You must then click on [Add this file] to move the file to the JAM Post server. When you see the file in the Completed Files section, you know that it has been properly uploaded. Click on [Finished adding files] to return to the Account Page. Please press the [Returned] button to indicate that you have uploaded all your files.
You can send any number of files and any type of file, but files must be sent one at a time.
