Documents

Documents you upload to the media section of your site can be viewed as downloadable PDFs or as Flipbooks. PDFs are a special format that displays the same across devices and outputs. Flipbooks are interactive online versions of books, catalogs, brochures, booklets, etc. Simply upload your PDF and Radius does the rest, converting your document into a Flash-based flipbook that your site visitors can "flip" through.

Sorting Documents

Collections

Document Collections are ordered according to creation date. The oldest collection, according to creation date, will appear at the top of the list, and the most recent collection will appear at the bottom.

Documents

Documents themselves are ordered by creation creation date by default. The most recently added Documents will appear at the top of the list so they are immediately viewable to visitors, and will continue on a descending basis based on creation date. However, putting your own date into the date field of the Document's properties will override the creation date. Your Documents will then sort based on date entered, with the most recent appearing at the top.
