Resource Manager

The Resource Manager stores all uploaded multimedia and files used in the various editors. All multimedia and file resources you want to use on site pages and courses must be uploaded to the Resource Manager before they can be used. Once uploaded, resources can be used in an unlimited number of pages and courses.

Resource Manager contains a set of standard folders labeled by file type. You can upload your resources into these folders according to their type.

Examples: Upload all sound and music files to the Audio folder. Upload all Microsoft^® Excel spreadsheets to the Excel folder.

You can also add subfolders to each of the standard Resource Manager folders, and you can add your own personalized folders.

The following User Permissions are required for this feature:

View Management Links (sub Permission of Manage Options)
Manage Files (parent and sub user permissions)
