Add a file resource element to an item

You add a file resource element to a site, site area or content item when you want the file resource to be used for a specific site, site area or content item.

You can only add an element to a content item if the manage elements button has been enabled in the authoring template used by the content item.

  1. Open or create a site, site area or content item.

  2. Click Manage Elements .

  3. Select File Resource as the element type.

  4. Enter a name. Do not use double-byte and non-ASCII characters.

  5. Enter a display title to use as the title of the element displayed indexes and forms.

  6. If you have created a text provider plug-in for a multi-locale site, you can also select the text provider and enter a key to lookup a string from the selected text provider. The text provider will display different display title for each language it has been configured for.

    The text entered in the Display Title field will then only be used if an appropriate display title is not available from the selected text provider, or if the text provider is not available.

  7. Click Add. The file resource element is added to your form.

  8. Go to the file resource element you created:

  9. Click Choose File to select a file to store in the file resource component.

  10. Save the item form.
