The File Library helps you store and manage files for use on your site. Files can have multiple formats such as documents (.pdf) or media (.mov, .flv, wmf).
Text content for pages and images used on the site are stored in their own libraries, however.
Not all users can access or view every folder or node in the library. Often only users with the Content Administrator or Manager roles can add a file. Users with the Viewer role can only view the contents of a library.
You cannot edit a file directly in iAPPS. You will need to edit it in its own program and then upload or re-upload the file.
To manage these tasks, ensure you are in the File Library by choosing Manage Site Assets > Libraries > Files and Media or click the Files & Media Button from the Control Center Dashboard.
The File Library displays the following:
- File format or association with program that created it.
- Name of physical file.
- Size of physical file in Kilobytes (KB).
- Brief description of the content of the file or its use.
- Date file last updated and by whom.
You can perform the following actions in the File Library:
Left/Directory:
See "Managing Data / Asset Libraries Directories" for more information.
Right/File List
Under the More drop-down
