Documents module overview

In addition to the information provided in Adding documents to the workspace, this article will provide more advanced information on the Documents module.

The Documents module is where documents are created and managed in the workspace, and where  their associated files are uploaded.

There are three tabs available in the Documents module, called Documents, Assets, and Display template. Below we'll provide some information on each of these tabs.

Documents tab

The Documents tab is the first one that appears when you go to the Documents module.

This tab is used for the following:

• See the full list of documents in the workspace, and perform certain individual or bulk actions.
• Add new documents to the workspace individually or via a bulk import.
• Export a list of all the documents that exist in the workspace.

Below we'll take a closer look at each of these uses.

Documents list

The documents list is presented as a list of the documents included in the workspace. Below we'll take a closer look at the information it contains:

Here there are currently two documents added to this workspace. In the list you can see the name of the document, the file (or asset) that is associated to the document, as well as the number of times that this document has been seen or opened by app users.

Clicking on a document's title in the list will open the document's information page, where you can see and edit its information. Find out more on the information for documents by reading the Adding documents to the workspace article.
