| You may need to ask your network administrator or an Information Technology professional to set up a location for the documents. |
You can use hyperlinks to point to documents stored on a web server. Here are the main steps that will need to be completed to set up the location:
- Find a location for the documents on a web server; and add a folder for the documents. This location should be stable; so the links will be preserved in the future. For example; create a folder named "Documents" or "Files" on the webserver.
- Create a virtual directory for the folder. The name of the virtual directory will determine the URL for the folder.
You could also find a location in an existing virtual directory for the documents. However; you must ensure that this location is stable and won’t be modified later.
- Grant full access to the folder for all users that need to save files to the location. If the folder is in an existing web application; you should grant access only to the folder; not to the entire virtual directory.
- Save files to the physical folder using the network location of the folder.
- In Maximizer; add hyperlinks pointing to the files using the URL of the virtual directory and the file name.
