Add a Document
In the Content tab, find the Docs folder most closely associated with the content you are working on.
Click on that folder, then in the right pane of the screen
Then mouse-over the "New" button to get the dropdown list.
From this list, click on "DMS Document".
A new screen will open and you will need to do two things:
1) Click on the "Browse" button to find the document on your computer that you want to upload to Ektron.
2) Name the content item.
6. Once you have done both steps, click "Publish". Your document is now uploaded to the Docs folder.
Link a document in a webpage
Link a document in a webpage
When a DMS document is added, Ektron creates a Quicklink to that document, just like it creates a Quicklink to a webpage when one is created. Therefore, the linking process is the same. Use the Insert tab on the editor, click on the Library icon (book icon), navigate to your Docs folder and choose the Quicklink for that document. All documents should open in a new window. To make that happen, once you have created the link, use the Inspector to check the “Open link in new tab/window” box.
