The Documents Module provides a list of links to documents which you can download. You can link to documents within your portal, or you can enter a URL to a file on another website. Each of the documents can track and log the number of clicks / downloads.

The Documents Module interacts with the permissions set in the File Manager (view the File Manager explanation below) which allows you to specify which users have permission to download a particular document.

The new functions within the Documents Module allow for a flexible configuration of the display, including selecting which columns are visible, specifying the order of the columns, setting up a list of categories to choose from a drop down box, and specifying a sort order for the documents.

Uses for the module could include:

• Company documents, such as PDF, Word documents etc.
• A collection of files contained within zip files
• Music and video files
• Etc.

The File Manager feature allows the administrator to upload, edit and delete files in your portal. Features of the File Manager include:

• Folder management: Create, rename, delete folders
• File management: Move and copy files to folders, delete, rename, upload files
• Decompress zip files: Automatically extract a zip file when uploading the zip file
• Folder security: Choose from standard file system, secure file system, secure database
• Security Role Permissions: Select which security roles are allowed to view / edit files within folders (This interacts with the core modules, such as the documents module)
• Synchronizing files: Ensures all folders and files are kept in sync and displayed within the File Manager if you upload files via FTP.
