• With Order Files… you can edit the way you view your files.
• Contact after Upload will enable you to notify a specified email address after an upload into this category.

Parent Tab

• The Parent Category will enable you to decide whether a category will be its own distinct category or become a member of another category (Sub-Category). Just select the category you would like this to branch from. If you choose to have this be a Main Category you can leave it as is, or select the “/” link.

Content Tab

• Content will enable you to provide a description which will appear on the front end of the website.

View Permissions Tab

• View Permissions is where you can enable certain roles/users/etc. access to this category. As a default, it is set to allow all users, including public users, access to the files. You may select and de-select access for all of these tabs.

Upload Permissions Tab

• Upload Permissions is set to restrict access to certain roles/users/etc. and their ability to upload files into this category from the front end. Generally, leave it on the default settings. This way, only users with backend access to the file library can add to this category.

No Permission Tab

• No Permission refers to what happens when a user does not have permission to view this category based on the previous permission settings you have established.
