Document Manager

The Document Manager, located under the Documents tab, allows Attorneys to upload documents and browse documents by topics.  The Document Manager is built into the Q&A Answer function. That is, you can attach (upload) a document to an Answer. The site saves the Document in the Document database.

Uploading Documents

Attorneys can upload documents using the Document Tab or by attaching a document to an Answer. The site does not, however, let attorneys upload documents when writing a Blog or Wiki article. (See Adding Documents to a Blog or Wiki article, below, to link a document to a Blog or Wiki Article).

To upload a document using the Document Manager:
To upload a document when writing an Answer, browse to the document on your computer. Once you attach a document, fields appear for the Title and a Description of the Document.  Fill in the Document Title. Describing the Document is optional.  The site automatically assigns the Question's State and Topic (i.e., Category) to the Document.

Adding Documents to an Article

Unfortunately, you cannot add a Document to a Blog or Wiki Article within the Blog or Wiki Article page itself. Instead, you must:

• go to the Document Manager;
• upload the document;
• return to the Article; and
• insert the Document title into the Article using the Find Internal Links button on the Blog or Wiki toolbar. See Adding Links to Q&As and Blog and Wiki Articles

Searching Documents

You can retrieve Documents by:

• selecting a topic from the Topic Menu on the left hand side of the Home and Document pages;
  
• searching with the Search box at the top left corner of each page; or
• if attached to a question or an answer, clicking on the link attached to the question or answer.
