Our users want to be able to store case files locally on their computer and reupload to the cloud environment at a later stage. It looks like the WebUI data manager does not support this requirement.
What is the best way to enable users with such a feature?
Why is there no download / upload case function in the WebUI data manager

Hello
In our Employee Scheduling example (https://how-to.aimms.com/Articles/387/387-employee-scheduling.html#language), you can see in the page action, the button ‘Case Manager’ where you can download and load a case for this project. All the procedures related to this functionality can be found trough that dialog page.
Hope this helps!

Hi
The example you shared is very similar to what I've implemented, with the addition that during the case upload I save it in the central storage. This can be done by adding the lines marked in yellow to your code example. <see screenshot 1>
Although this creates a case, the case becomes read only. Which can be seen via the data manager, but it can not be deleted or modified. <see screenshot 2>. Why is that? Is this a potential bug?
Regards,
Jacob Jan
P.s. Let me put in the feature request to get a case download and case upload directly in the Data Manager.
<Figure 1 Saving the case on the central storage>
<Figure 2 Case appears as read only, as the delete function is not appearing>
