  1. Start enaio® client and open one or more locations where you want to file the media files.

    The administrator can limit the file size of the media files to be imported. Media files that exceed this size will not be imported. In the import progress bar and in the log, you will see a message stating that the affected media files have not been imported due to their size.

  4. Select the location where you want to place the media files from the selection list in the Client area.

  5. Mark the media files you want to import in the file list and click the Add to import - icon 'Add to import' button. Use the Remove from import - icon 'Remove from import' button to delete an entry from the list of files to be imported.

    You can select multiple files at once by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key during selection.

  6. Click the Import files - icon Import files button to start the import. If preconfigured by your administrator, a dialog opens in which you can enter a free text.
