What is a Repository Area?

A repository area displays a list of files that reside in a DivePort document library. Alternatively, a repository area can refer to a directory in the DiveTab project. A repository is useful when you have many related files that you want to make available to DiveTab application users for offline viewing. Users see a list of available files that they can download from the server. These files are initially listed in alphabetical order.

There is no limit on the file size, file type, or the number of files within the repository. However, tga files are not supported for viewing on iOS. For example, the files on the server can be Word documents, pdf files, presentations, reports, images, or videos.
