Document Library

What does the Document Library do?

The Document Management area of your site is used to upload images and documents.

A page module is created for the Document Library, which can have Roles assigned to each category, so that the viewers can be customised.

Setting up the Document Library

  • To create a Document Library, click the Modules tab on the top menu, and select Document Library from the list.
  • You will need to create a Category prior to uploading your Documents.

Adding a Category

  • You will need to create a Category for your documents and images.
    • Click Categories from the left hand menu
    • Complete the fields in "Add a category"
    • You can choose for your Category to be a sub-category of another by selecting the parent category from the drop down list.
    • Select how you would like your Categories ordered, and click Save & Close

  • Your Category will then be listed above in the Category list.

Edit a Category

Assigning Roles to a Category
