To add PDFs and images, start at the gray "reports" button in CommonSpot.
Notes of exceptions
- Most image (and PDF!) additions to the CCB web site is view news and announcements. The interface to do that work includes the facility for image (and PDF) uploads so the below information does not pertain.
- For PDF uploads, use the "images" interface, which doesn't seem right, but is the way to do it. (I know, right?!)
- The image of the faculty members within each CCB faculty page is managed by A&S Communications and must therefore go through them. Again, the below information does not pertain within that context.
Images
See above for exceptions.
Also, review our tips for modifying images for use on the web site, such as modifying the image resolution.
- Choose images
- Drill down to find the subsite where the images reside (drop box at the top)
- Include "child subsites" if it is a higher level site (checkbox)
- Hit filter box in uper right corner to reload selections
- Select the check box for each photo for which you want to take action
- Choose the action you want to take in the lower right drop box
- Hit go and follow the instructions
One thing that might be handy for adding news images is to choose "new" from the gray toolbar and per-upload the news photos into whatever directory you want. Then when you add them to the story youi select "choose" instead of "new"
PDFs
See above for exceptions.
- From the "reports" button choose Pages Templates Uploaded Documents Registered URLs
- Uncheck the types of documents you don't want to see
- Drill down to the correct directory
- Hit filter box in upper right corner to reload selections
- Select the check box for each document for which you want to take action. NOTE: You can delete or move or take other actions
- Choose the action you want to take in the lower right drop box
- Hit go and follow the instructions (if there are any)
