Working with Documents and PDF Files

There are two steps to linking to a document – Uploading the document and Inserting a Link

UPLOADING
Upload

 

To upload a document, choose the Assets icon from the main menu.
Upload File

 

The "Manage Assets" dialog box appears.

 
Upload To

 

Select "Documents" and expand the folder by clicking on the + sign.


Navigate to the document folder for your area.

 

Document folders follow this pattern: documents/nameofsite/

Reminder: Images and Documents are stored in different folders in Ingeniux.

 

 

Browse for the item you want to upload from your desktop or your public netspace folder.


Click "Upload".

 

A success message will not appear, but your uploaded file will be listed at the top of the folder.


Note: If a document already exists in your folder with the same name, you will be prompted and given a choice of whether or not to replace the file.

INSERTING A LINK

Select the text that will become the link. Click the “Insert Link” icon . (PC users can also right click and choose “Insert /edit link”.)

 

The "Link Properties" section will vary based on the type of link you choose.

 

When the "Link properties" box opens, select "Document" from the "Link To" choices.

 

Then click on the button at the far right of the Document field to browse for your document.

 

 

 

Your document must already be uploaded into Ingeniux.

 

Select the document you want and hit "Ok".

Note: You can test your link by clicking on the PREVIEW tab.
