Limiting the file size of supplementary material

Journals can configure a file upload size limit.  An Author and Editor will not be able to upload a file larger than the configured size limit.  This limit applies to all files uploaded, whether or not they are built into the PDF, or accessed via a link in the PDF.

The journal can run a report to that will display file upload and download statistics.  This report is found in AdminManager.  It is called ‘View File Upload/Download Statistics’.  This report will show the number and total size for all uploaded files and all downloaded files over a specified time period.

To Configure:  To create a Submission Item that builds a link in the PDF instead of displaying the file (or to modify an existing Submission Item for this purpose), go to PolicyManager, 'Edit Submission Items' and either create a new Submission Item or select and existing one.  Check the box labeled, ‘Build Hyperlink to the Item into the PDF (Item not displayed in PDF)’ to turn on the functionality.

To set a file upload limit, go to PolicyManager, 'Set Maximum Size of File Upload', and enter a whole number (integer) of megabytes in the textbox.  For example: for a 30 MB limit, enter the number 30.  If no limit is desired, leave the textbox blank.
