To upload a document to a single page, you first need to upload your document to the document database on your website. To get started, head over to the documents page on your website. (This is usually found under 'About the Council')
When you are at the documents page, you will see all the documents uploaded on your site. (Make sure you are logged in)
Click on 'Add Resource' to add a new document
You'll be presented with fields that need to be filled out to upload the document. Make your way through them and upload the document to continue to the next step.
- Enter a meaningful title for your document (i.e. one a member of the public will understand, not a cryptic abbreviated one which only makes sense to your organisation's employees!)
- Upload your file by clicking the Choose File button, navigating to/selecting your document then click OK (N.B. your operating system may give these buttons different names)
- Add a short description - this will be displayed in search results and should be a brief summary of what the document contains. You can choose whether to also show this description on the page using the Show Description radio buttons
- You can add a thumbnail graphic for your document by selecting from the Thumbnail options
- The CMS will automatically create a thumbnail graphic of the first page of a pdf, otherwise it will display a generic icon for the type of file you are adding
- If required, add tags to your document so that it can be picked up in matching listings
After completing the details for your document, scroll down to the bottom and select 'Save' to finalise the changes.
You will then see the document has been uploaded to your document database.
To now upload this to an individual page, head over to the page you want to display the document on, and click the 'Edit Page' button in the admin bar at the top.
Scroll to the bottom and click the 'Document' button.
In the pop up window, click on 'Choose document' and select the document you'd like to display on this page.
You'll then see your new document appear on the content. However, this is NOT published to the site yet.
To publish anything you have edited or added to the page, scroll to the top of your content and click 'Approve'.
