 Also, keep in mind that any user that has access to the report can download any file listed in the report. If certain files should be available to certain group(s) of users, different reports may be needed.

+===MIME Types (Technical Topic)===
+Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (**MIME**) types identify the types of content that can be served to a browser or a mail client from a Web server. Since Versago is a browser-based application, any file types that may be downloaded must be defined to the web server.
+The most common file types (PDF, XLXS, TXT, DOCX, etc.) are already defined in IIS (the Windows web server). The general process to add/maintain MIME types is described here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725608(v=ws.10).aspx.
+One MIME type that is not defined by default is for Outlook email messages. These files have the extension **.msg**. Specific steps to add this MIME type are found here: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/rhutton/archive/2013/10/25/unable-to-open-outlook-message-file-in-web-browser-msg/.
+====Calculated Fields====
 It is possible to calculate values at the time a report is executed and present them as a new column. This is done using the [**Add Calculated**] and [**Update Calculated**] buttons on the “Field Display Details” page.
