Downloadable files are files that you've put into VSys One that you want to make available to site visitors for download. These can be things like PDF applications, newsletters, media files, or pretty much anything else. You might want to put newsletters, your organization's history or PDF forms that need to be signed and returned. Use the Downloadable files link to add files that can be used by different areas of VSys Live.

Download filename |
When a user downloads this file, the file will have this name rather than its original name. |

Adding files here doesn't immediately make them available on your VSys Live site: you'll need to put a "downloadable files" listing view somewhere (or more than one somewheres) on your site, and that listing must be configured to know which files it should show to the site's visitors.
Want to make a VSys Live downloadable file available without a listing view? Clicking on the hyperlink in the upper-left corner copies a URL to the Windows clipboard that can be used to reference this file. Paste that URL into an e-mail, a VSys Live news item or anyplace else. As long as VSys Live is running at the URL you set for the VSys Live site, the link can be used to download this file without actually going to your VSys Live site and searching for it.
When adding a file here it's important that the Download filename property be what you'd want the file to be named when it's downloaded by a site visitor. The visitor will get this filename as the default filename. If the file extension is not correct (in this case ".pdf") then the visitor's web browser may not know what to do with the file.
"File required by..."? Those are downloadable files which come from the currently-selected CSS and JavaScript option. VSys Live will automatically make assets from those options into downloadable files here. (If you delete a required file here, VSys Live will re-create it again within a few minutes.)
