Hi Halvdan

Sounds great and a good alternative! I'd like to work through an example or
two:

We have annual performance plans made up of multiple quarterly reports so I
would expect there to be 2 data sets:
 - Annual Performance Plans (fYear)
 - Quarterly Performance Reports (fQuarter)

If we configure these data sets to include a single data element of type
'Text' what name would we give to this element? 'Document' or 'File'?

We're currently experimenting with ownCloud for document storage as an
interim solution. I guess nothing stops us from loading the ownCloud URL
into datavalue.value?

Regards,
Greg
