Setting up Document Repositories enables the uStore administrator to define external file repositories for Composite Products. The administrator sets up the repository location, which file types can be uploaded and whether the visitor can change the order of the pages or edit Product Properties on specific pages of the uploaded file. The store visitors will be able to upload Documents from these repositories when ordering a Composite Product.

1. In the Presets view,
click the Document
Repositories Setup link.
The Document Repositories
List page is displayed.
2. Click New to add a new Document Repository.
