Document Library#
The document library provides a way for the application process to be extended, when necessary. It allows your school to upload additional documents that can perform one of several functions, some examples could be:
Predicted Grades Template - A document template that contains a structure for applicants to complete. They can then upload the completed document to their application.
Application Handbook - A document that is for reference only, your applicants could download and read the content of the reference document.
Upload a New Document#
To upload a new document to the library select the Upload option from the Document Library section of the menu.
Complete the form details including:
Academic Year - The academic year to which the document belongs.
Name - The name that the document will be advertised under within the document library.
Description - A description of the document that will be shown within the document library entry for this document.
Document - The actual document file itself, this will be available for download by users. It should be one of the valid formats (doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf).
Intended for Upload - This indicates whether the document is a template which has the intent of being uploaded to applications.
Visible to Applicants and Contacts - Indicates whether the document is available for applicants and contacts to download.
Tip
If the intended for upload flag is set to yes the document must be below the maximum file size allowed for application documents otherwise users won’t be able to add it to their application. It is recommended that it is significantly smaller than the limit so that once complete it is still below the limit.
Tip
The reason the file format is restricted when adding documents is that not all users will have some of the more abnormal software packages required to open them. A good example of this would be a “.pub” file, it doesn’t come as part of the standard Microsoft Office package.
Click the create button when complete and you’ll be taken to the Manage screen.
