Added Uploaded Documents to Collection

[Martyn Houghton]

I am just looking at starting to use Document Manager and I am sure I am missing a step when I am uploading documents.

I have created a collection and I have uploaded documents.

At the moment the documents appear under documents I own but when I open each one to try add it to the collection I have created but the collection does not appear in the drop down.

Do I need to set something on the collection to appear in the drop down?

Cheers

Hi Martyn,

When you created a collection to use like this make sure its created as Manual Collection, Documents can't be directly added into self-organising collections as documents appear in them based on the tags that occur in the document.  Possible your collection is self-organising?

Hope this helps

Thanks

I suspect you are correct. I am not able to get into the cog on the collection due to the length of the name and the positioning of the cog icon.

The icon by the collection name indicates that it is a self-organising collection so you won't be able to manually add documents to this collection.  I have raised a defect for the problem that you cannot edit the collection and hopefully will be able to release a fix very soon, and will let you know when its released.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Is there anyway I can delete it at the moment?

Unfortunately, doesn't seem possible to access the Collection edit form when the text runs over, but I hope to be able to release a fix in the next couple of days
Very sorry

Hi Martyn,

Just to let you know there should be a new version of Document Manager available now with a fix for the problem of not being able to edit/delete collections with long names

Thanks
