Attaching & Managing Documents, Images, Photos, & Videos

This page includes instructions for attaching document, image, photo, or video files, editing details about those attached files, and removing attached files. (Important Note: See Step 7 for important instructions about adding your logo image to the TYR Home screen.)
 

To Attach a Document, Image, Photo, or Video File

  • On any screen with the Photos, Documents, etc. () button at the upper right, click the button, and the Manage Media, Document, URLs, and Notes screen will open.
                                                        
     
  • Click the Add () button at the upper right. The Media, Document, URL, or Note screen opens where you can select the file you want to attach and add details about it.
                                                        
     
  • At the top of the Media, Document, URL, or Note screen, select the Type of file you want to attach.   The system accepts files with these suffixes in the filename (suffix is the dot near the end of the file name plus the three or four letters and/or numbers that follow the dot, and it can be in upper or lower case) :
    Photos and Images:
    .BMP, .JPG, .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .PSD
    Documents:
    .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .XLS, .XLSX, .PPT
    Videos:
    .MP4, .WMV, .FLV, .MPG, .MPEG, .M2V, .MKV, .AVI, .MOV




     
  • Make sure "Local Computer" is selected (TYR selects this automatically for Photo/Image, Document, and Video), and then click the "Browse Local Computer" button. A "Browse for xxxxx" window opens (xxxxx represents the type of file you selected in step 4 above, e.g., Document in the screen image below).
                                                                                                    
     
  • Find the file on your computer and double-click the file name to select it. When the selection and upload are successful, the Browse window closes and in the upper right corner of the Media, Document, URL, or Note screen, you will see either a thumbnail image if the selected file is a photo or the message "Upload successful. You can now 'Save'" if the selected file is a document or video.
                                                            
     
  • In the Date field, select the date the document or image file was created or the photo or video taken, or a close approximation.
     
  • In the Title field, enter a brief descriptive name for the document or photo. (Important Note for a Logo: A title of "Logo" or "logo" is required if you are attaching an image file for your logo and you want it to appear at the upper right corner of the TYR Home screen. Without this exact title, TYR will not recognize that it needs to place the image on the Home screen.)
     
  • If you selected Photo/Image, the Publicity Rank field is editable. Its purpose is to allow you to rank the priority and order in which photos appear on screens and websites when there is more than one photo.
                                                                                       
     
  • In the Notes field, you can enter a note about the document, video, or photo if you choose, but it is not required.
                                                                        
     
  • Click the Save button. You are returned to the screen you saw in Step 2 above, where you can now see a row in the center grid displaying the details about the file you just attached, and a confirmation message at the lower left.

    To Edit Details About a Document, Video, or Photo

  • On any screen with the Photos, Documents, etc. () button at the upper right, click the button to open the Manage Media, Document, URLs, and Notes screen. (See image in Step 10 above.)
     
  • In the center grid, double-click the cell at the farthest left of the row containing the item you want to edit. The Media, Document, URL, or Note screen opens. The fields with a white background are based on the type of file you selected. These are the editable fields.

                                                                  
                                                                                              
  • Make the desired change(s) and click Save. The Media, Document, URL, or Note screen closes and you are returned to the Manage Media, Documents, URLs, and Notes screen where you can see your changes in the center grid and a confirmation message at the lower left.

    To Remove a Document, Video, or Photo

  • On any screen with the Photos, Documents, etc. () button at the upper right, click the button to open the Manage Media, Document, URLs, and Notes screen.
     
  • In the center grid, select the row for the item you want to delete by clicking the cell at the farthest left of the row.
      
  • Click the Delete button. A window pops up to confirm that you really want to delete the item.
                                                                   
     
  •  To complete the deletion, click OK. The popup window disappears, and the deleted item no longer appears in the grid on the Manage Media, Documents, URLs, and Notes screen, which also shows a confirmation message about the deletion in the lower left corner.
