Attaching a File to an Entry

When collaborating online, it is common to attach one or more related files to an entry.

For example, you could be discussing the next version of a product that your company is releasing, and you may want to attach a file containing the product's financial projections. Or, you may want to upload graphics files that are needed by the document you just uploaded into Forum.

To attach files to documents, topics, or entries, do the following:

1. View the summit page.

2. Log in, if you have not already.

3. Click on the linked title of the forum in the "Discussion and Document Forums" section of the summit that you want to contain your entry.

4. When viewing the top folder of the forum, in the upper-left corner of the page, click on the Add button, as follows:
   For illustration only:

5. In the displayed menu, click on the link for the type of entry you want to add (such as a discussion topic, document, or reply), and fill out the required elements of the form.

6. Click on the "Add attachments" checkbox.

7. Click on the OK button.

   Forum displays the "Add attachments to entry..." form. You can attach either files or a URL (which is a pointer to a web page on your company's Intranet or on the Internet).

8. To add a document, click on one of the Browse buttons.

   Your system displays the standard window used for choosing files. Choose one file. Forum places the path to your file in the text box next to the Browse button you used. You can use the other browse buttons to add up to 5 files.

9. To add a URL, type the address in the text box after the URL label.

   The following is an example of a valid URL:

   http://www.sitescape.com/

10. If you want to attach more files or URLs, click on the "Prompt for additional attachments" checkbox.

11. Click on the OK button at the bottom of the form.

    If you checked the "Prompt for additional attachments" checkbox, then Forum displays the "Add attachments to entry..." form again, and you can add more attachments. If you did not check that box, then Forum displays the created entry and its attachments.
