15.2 Document Upload

The Document feature allows you to select a file from your PC and upload it to the web site. For example, you might want to upload the Committee minutes or Entry forms.

  • PDF (Portable Data Format) documents are preformatted and can contain sophisticated formatting with pictures and graphics, such as a Newsletter, with a suffix of .pdf.
  • Any other document should be avoided, especially - Word Processing files with a suffix of .doc/docx or Spreadsheet xls/xlsx. Most Browsers consider these a security risk.

In Web Administration, go to the [Documents] Tab and second level [Upload] Tab.

  • You will need to click on the [Browse/Choose File] button. This will open a popup window showing the directories on your PC.
  • Find the Document that you want to upload..
  • When you have found the document you want to upload, click [Open], the popup will close and put the name in the "Document" box.

Note: The [Browse/Choose File] option may look different on different Browsers from that shown below.

Then

  • If you would like to rename the document, give it a suitable title.
  • If you would like a PDF document kept private, select the Private option. For confidential documents, the [Private] option will store the file in a secure area of Bridgewebs.
    • Public - Public documents can be viewed without a login and can all be accessed by "Crawlers" such as Google, Bing
    • Private - Private documents are only available when using a "Member Only" login.
    • Within the Bridgewebs Administration, usage is the same.
  • You can automatically add to the Menu by choosing from the Dropdown list "Please Choose-->" where you want it to appear in the Menu.
  • Otherwise it will just be added to the Document library and you can use it later.
  • If this is a replacement document in the Menu, choose "Replace" and select the entry in the menu that you wish to replace.

Then

  • Click [Save].
  • This will save the document on the web site and update the Menu if required
