The Q-DM application (formerly Q-DAS Upload) is the central tool for uploading measurement files automatically and cyclically from external systems to a Q-DAS value database. This includes data from coordinate measuring machines that store the files in a Q-DAS compliant data format, or local O-QIS MCA/CMM Reporting installations that forward the files to the central upload after the first control loop.

| Q-DM Datamanagement A short guide and a more detailed explanation of how to deal with Q-DM Datamanagement are available. Link to: Q-DM - Brief Introduction Link to: Q-DM - A more detailed explanation of the basic handling |
| Document Allocation The document allocation in Q-DM provides the possibility to add a file, e.g. a PDF file with detailed information on a manufactured part, to individual measurements. Link to: Document Allocation (Q-DM) |
| Installation as a service In order to automatically upload files the application must be started and permanently running. It is also possible to run the Q-DM as a Windows system service so that it is not dependent on a manual start. The advantage of this is that when the computer is restarted, the relevant upload job will start automatically without any further action being required. How to install Q-DM as a Windows system service is part of a separate topic. Link to: Installation as a Windows System Service |
| Dashboard Upload Dashboard is a central tool for monitoring uploads. When suitably configured, administrators can get an overview of all running uploads, all search directories, and all files which are ready to be uploaded. The Upload Dashboard also can be used for the distribution of central catalogue information to local workstations. How to configure and work with the Upload Dashboard is part of a separate topic.

| Troubleshooting The 'Troubleshooting' section not only lists the error codes used by the applications, but also provides answers to frequently asked questions and information on how to solve problems. For example, it explains how to improve slow uploads and stability. Link to Q-DM specifically troubleshooting |
