Design Documents
For information about how to create or edit a part, as well as the tabs on the Edit Part screen, see Create and Edit Parts.
|
1.
|
From the Design tab, select a folder in Files to store the documents. You can also create a new folder on the Select Folder screen. The part displays all files in the folder. |
|
2.
|
In the Title field, enter a name to identify the documents on the web page. For example, enter “Board Meeting Minutes.” |
|
3.
|
In the Message field, enter the message to appear on the web page. For example, you can provide details about the documents or instructions for site users. |
|
4.
|
In the Upload button field, enter a label for the button that website users click to upload documents to your website. |
Tip: There is not a limit to the number of documents on your website. However, hardware space limitations may constrain the number of documents you are able to store in the online database. The more documents your website has, the more hardware space used.
|
5.
|
In the Maximum file size field, enter the maximum size of a document to store on your site. The size is stored in kilobytes. By default, the maximum file size is typically 4096 KB. |
Warning: To prevent possible Denial of Service attacks, there is a limit to the size of the files you can upload. The default is typically set to 4096 KB, but the system administrator can adjust it up to 10,000 KB. We do not recommend you go over this size. The administrator can specify this limit in the Web.Config file. For example, to increase the file size, add maxRequestLength="8192" (where 8192 is the file size) to the <httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" /> key. For very large files, increase the website timeout setting. For example, to increase the timeout setting, add executionTimeout="120" (where 120 is the duration in seconds) to the <httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" /> key. Before you maximize the document file sizes or website timeout settings, visit http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295626 and review the Microsoft Knowledgebase article.

Specify whether uploaded documents require approval before they appear on your website. |
|
•
|
If you select Require approval, documents posted by users with Manage rights appear on your website immediately. Other documents must be approved by a user with manager rights. |
Note: To enhance security for your website, we recommend you select Require approval.
|

|
If you do not select Require approval, all documents appear immediately on your website. |

|
Under Security Rights, specify the roles with manage and upload rights for the Documents part. |
|
a.
|
In the Manage column, select the checkbox to assign manage rights to users and roles. This grants rights to add, edit, and delete documents. If the part is marked Require Approval, these users and roles can approve documents. |
Note: If the part is marked Require Approval, documents are pending until a user with Manage rights approves them. A user with Upload rights can view his or her pending documents, but not those of other users with Upload rights. Only users with Manage rights can view all pending documents.

In the Upload column, select the checkbox to assign upload rights for documents to users and roles. This does not grant rights to edit or delete documents. |
