Add a Document

Documents must be enabled in the A2Z Community Settings in order to use this option. You must also be in the role with the appropriate access level as set in the Document Settings to add a document. If this option is not available to you, please contact your site administrators for more information.

To add a document

  1. Login and go to the dashboard.
  2. Hover over Documents on the left side menu. Select Add New Document from the submenu.
  3. Enter a title for your document.
  4. Enter a description for the document in the large text box.
  5. Enter a summary of the description in the smaller text box. This will be shown in locations where there is not enough space to show the full description.
  6. Use the Choose File button in the Document Address and Text section to select your file. Enter the text for the link to the document.
  7. In widgets and shortcode generated lists, the links generated will be directly to the document instead of the page. If you want to disable this behavior, check the “Always link to the description page instead of directly to the document” checkbox.
  8. The featured image might be used by your theme. There might be a default featured image for events. If you want to use your own image, then use the Select or Upload Featured Image button to open the media uploader.  Once in the uploader, you can choose an existing image to be your featured image. Or you can drag a new image onto the uploader. Once you have selected your image, click on the Choose Image button on the lower right side of the uploader to select the image and close the uploader.
  9. On the right side of the screen, choose at least one category from the list.
  10. Select the Submit for Review or Publish button on the right side of the page.

Maximum and minimum values for the title, excerpt, and description are set in the Document Settings.
