Add a document to a library

You can add most documents stored on your local file system to CS and IS libraries. You cannot add compound documents or published documents to a CS library. Ask your web administrator for help in adding these documents.

You should file any new document in a folder so you can see the document on the Browse page. Depending on the web server's preference settings, you may be required to file a document in a folder during the add process. If you add a document to a library without filing it in a folder, you must find that document using a search. If you add a document from the Search page, that document is not filed in a folder.

Notes

You can add a document as long as you have rights to add an item specified in the Admin Tool. You receive Owner access rights to the document you are adding. When you are adding the document to a folder, you must also have Author or higher access rights to that folder.

You must have Read, Write, and Append/Execute access rights to the document class in order to add a document. When creating a new document, you can also file the document in a folder if you have Read and Append/Execute access rights to the selected folder.

To add a document from the Browse page

  1. Navigate to the library or folder to where you want to add the document. Site preference settings may require you to select a folder.

  2. Click on the FWS toolbar. The Document Wizard appears so you can finish adding the document to the library.

To add a document from the IDM Viewer

With a local file displayed in the viewer, select Add to Library from the viewer's File menu. This launched the Document Wizard.
