File Manager

The file manager provides a convenient way to upload and manage files like documents, images, and other media that are to be used on your website pages, calendar events, forms, etc.

Files are organized by departmental structure and follow departmental permissions, allowing editors to be restricted to only those files associated with the departments for which they are an editor. Default permitted file types are .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls. xlsx, .pdf, .jpg, .gif, .png, and .swf. The file manager is also accessible from within the editor toolbar in most other modules.

Important Note:

• Use caution when applying changes to files as these changes will affect the file for all users and may affect the appearance of the file on your site.

• The File Manager is not the place to upload images or other media media for Photo Galleries, Podcasts, or Flipbooks. Those modules have their own unique file uploaders that support their special functionalities.
