Media: Adding a Document to a Message

As a user of Plek you can upload messages. You can add different media to this message: images, a video, or audio (of maximum 500MB). Moreover, you can add a document or a form to your message. That is how you create filled messages which people can easily find.

Adding a document to a message

It is possible to add a document to your message. To add a document to your message, take the following steps:

1. Click on the document icon at the end of your message: (ADD DOCUMENT ICON)
2. Go to the folder in your computer where the concerning document is saved. Double click on the file.

The document is now being uploaded. The preview opens when the downloading is finished. Then, it is possible to add more information to your document.

3. Click on Save and then on the little cross.

You see the uploaded document in the list of the already uploaded documents. 

4. Click on the concerning document.
5. Then, click on Add.

The document is now placed at the bottom of your message (under ‘tags’). 

After uploading your message (or after adding the document to already existing message), you can see your message at the group page in which you uploaded your message. The documents are placed on the right side.  

Below is a short video where we go through the steps.

TIP!

Do not forget to click on ‘Save’ when adding new media to an already existing document.

If there are a lot of documents in the group or on the platform, it can be useful to use taxonomy (role: admin). In this way, you can, besides the global search function, easily find the document.
