Please check the following are correct before trying to upload the file again:

  • Check the FIS has been extracted from the zipped folder before running. Please follow this link for a guide on file compression: Zip and unzip files
  • We advise running FIS on your local C:Drive. It can run on a network device such as MS OneDrive but you will need to discuss this with your ICT department to allow read and write permissions.
  • You have enough free space on your storage device. Use ‘My Computer’ in file explorer and ensure you have at least 25% of your memory free.
  • Make sure you are using the latest version of FIS. Please follow this link to download the latest version FIS (Funding Information Service) tool
