Overview
In 2014 the
System Gallery feature was added to the
software. This allows users with administrative
access to upload, and store
documents in their database. This can be useful for a variety
of reasons such as:
- Adding images to
an eblast.
- Storing grant
documentation.
- Storing PDF documents such
as a newsletter or event poster to link to from a mass email
campaign.
- Saving audio files, and
linking to them from a mass email campaign.
Steps
Navigate to the
System Gallery by following
Application Menu >
System Manager >
System Gallery
Select the folder you would
like to import the file(s) into. In this example I
selected the Images
folder.
Click [Import
File] from upper-left of the
screen.
IMPORTANT!
MAKE
SURE ‘ALL FILES’ IS SELECTED FROM THE DROP
DOWN IN THE LOWER-RIGHT.
Locate and highlight the
file that you want to upload, and click
[Open]. In this example
I selected a .png image file called
“2015-06-04-link-to-website-icon-circle-blurple.png”
from my Temp
folder.
The new file will now
display in your System Gallery in the folder that you previously
select. My example image file is displayed below -
you can toggle the drop-down for how the files will appear i.e. Large
Icons, Details, List View, Etc.
At this point you’re
finished with the upload process.
*Optionally, you can right-click on
the file, and Publish it to the Web which
will allow you to do things like insert the images into your future
email campaigns. If this is something you wish to do simply
right-click on the file and select Publish on
web.
Click
[OK] to finish.
As of the time this article
was written the base level package with Trail Blazer
provides up to 1G of document storage, and its $10.00/mo for each
additional GB after that. Feel free to contact our Support or
Sales departments if you think you may be close to your
limit.
HINT: If you want to save some time
uploading multiple files, highlight the entire set of files on your
local machine and drag-and-drop them into the System
Gallery.
