Modify a Library Item

To add an item(s) to a library, choose Tools > Libraries from the Menu Bar to open the Library Manager.

Choose the library to browse from the pulldown menu at the top of the screen.

Locate the Modify link and click it.

The Library Manager will change screens. You can now browse the library. To locate the item to modify, follow these steps:


1. Choose the file type

You will see a list of all of the file types available in the library. Click on the name of a file type to view your options.


2. View item details

To view the details of an item, simple click on the name. This will not select the item, it will simply allow you to view some information about the item.

If the item is an image, you may click the thumbnail link to view a thumbnail of it. Otherwise, you may click the view link to view the item.


3. Click the update link to modify the item

To update the item, click on the update link and wait for sWord to open the file upload window.

The Library Manager will change screens and you will be presented with a small form for uploading items.

Supply the following information:


The file

Press the Browse button to select an image form your computer to upload to the site. You may upload any type of file you'd like. Your only limitation may be file size depending on your connection speed.

Note: Depending on your server settings and connections speed a very large file may actually cause the page to timeout before the file is completely transfered. If this happens, you will need to choose a lighter file.


Title

In the field provided, type in the name you would like to assign to the item.

Note: This can be anything you want, but you should try and use a meaningful name that will help you identify the item when browsing the library.

When you are finished press the Continue button once and wait for sWord to transfer the file. This may take a moment, but try and resist the temptation to press the button again as this will interfere with the file upload.

Note: You can be sure the file is being transfered when the text on the button changes from Continue to Uploading Files. Please wait.

When the file has been succesfully uploaded, you will be returned to the previous screen where you can continue browsing the library.

Use the back button to return to the main Library Manager menu.
