The File Cabinet

The File Cabinet

The File Cabinet is a convenient way to store your Photos, Documents, Audio/Video Files, and various Forms that you may need throughout your school year.  Let's look at the File Cabinet, it's Subsections, and how to use them.


There are four (4) subsections in every File Cabinet.
  1. Photo Drawer
  2. Document Drawer
  3. Audio/Video Drawer
  4. Form Drawer

The Photo Drawer

In your Photo Drawer, you can store pictures of various kinds for use on your website.  Every teacher account that is created will have a folder that is premade for that particular teacher, let's use our test teacher as an example:

  1. The Green Pencil is your edit button; this will allow you to change the name of the folder.
  2. The Red Trashcan is your delete button; this will allow you to delete, but only if empty
  3. The text is the name of your folder.
  4. The 'Manage Photos' button lets you into the folder.
Now, Mr. Scruggs' Photo Drawer is currently empty, this is the only way you will be allowed to delete the folder within the drawer itself.  So, to delete the file folder you must delete all the pictures inside.

Inside the drawer, you can upload your photos by Drag & Drop or by using 'SELECT PHOTOS' which loads an open file menu for browsing through the files located on your PC.

After you've uploaded your images, You should see information resembling this:

  1. The Red Trashcan Icon is your DELETE Button.
  2. The Checkbox will allow you to delete or move multiple items at once.
  3. There should be a preview of your selected image, located under this icon are two buttons, the frame is your Crop Image button and the arrow is your Rotation Orientation button.
  4. The width & height are the dimensions your picture takes up in cyberspace.  (1000 Pixels is a big picture)
  5. The Link/URL 'Image Path' hyperlink takes you directly to where your picture is stored on the server.  You can download the image from here if it is lost on your pc.
  6. The Date Added is when you uploaded this selected picture.
In the Photo Drawer, there is an option for the drawer to automatically resize all image widths to a size that you set

WARNING!  Resizing photos may distort images.

Uploadable File Types for the Photo Drawer are: .PNG, .JPEG, and .GIF

Also, If a teacher or staff member has left your site and that teacher has pictures that are being used in other locations and you delete all of their information, these images will no longer work, as their photo drawer with the image has been deleted.

So, before deleting a Teacher or Staff Member, you can move their Photo Drawer files to another location, by using the [Choose Folder] drop-down menu and moving the selected files to safety. But it is recommended you save the files first.

The Document Drawer


In your Document Drawer,  you can upload PDF, Rich-Text, Microsoft Office, iWork, Smart, Promethean, Mimeo, eBook, XML, Active Inspire Flipcharts, and Logger Pro Data files.

  2. The Red Trashcan will allow you to DELETE your Document Drawer.
  3. This field will inform you whether your document is being shared or not.  If your document is being shared it will appear as a green checkmark.

  5. This is your 'Manage Documents' button. It allows you into the selected folder.
To upload files, use the Drag & Drop field or choose 'SELECT FILES' which loads an open file menu for browsing through the files located on your PC.
