File


File is a physical file that can be stored in a physical place for example in a shelf, library or etc. This is not to be mistaken with the Site File which is a digital copy that is uploaded in the Document Library.

This function helps you to keep track of all the files you have, and also keep track of the request to borrow. You can imagine the File function as a librarian system.

Each Site has its own File function. What you can do in the File is depending on your site member roles. The following tutorial will be labeled with Admin (Admin and Site Manager) and Staff (Collaborator, Contributor, and Consumer) to differentiate which function can be accessed by which roles.

Manage a File Admin

To manage a file is simple. You can add, edit, search and delete the file. Only admin and site managers can add a file.

Request a File Admin Staff

A file can be requested by any site members. The file request can be urgent or not urgent. You can make an urgent request if the book is not available at the moment. Depending on the urgency of the file request, the current borrower will receive a notification to return the file. The video below will walkthrough the steps to request a file.
