Documents must be less than 1MB in size in order to be uploaded into Cascade Server. Follow the PDF optimization guide if your file is larger than 1MB. Files that cannot be optimized to less than 1MB may be placed on the Large File (Catcher) Server instead.

If you need assistance with large files, submit a ticket to http://www.sandiego.edu/web-requests/.

Use a Reference to create a link in the navigation menu to a document.

Uploading Documents into Cascade Server

1. From the Utility Bar, click on New > Default > Document to upload a document into Cascade Server.
   
   
2. When the New Asset Screen loads, you can drag and drop the document into the window or click  anywhere in the field that says, "Drag a file here or choose one from your computer" to select the file from your computer.
   
   
3. Lastly, fill in the remaining fields to name and place the document.
   
   

• • File Name – File name. The system will automatically use the name of the file from your computer. You may update the file name if needed. Remember, do not use any spaces, special characters, or uppercase letters. if you update the system name be sure to include the correct file extension (filename.pdf, anotherfile.doc, etc.).
  • Placement Folder – For many users, this is automatically set by your department's web template. If need be, you can follow the steps here to select a different parent folder.
  • Title – Displays at the top of the assets. Most visitors to a web page will think of this as the page's name.
  • Display in Navigation – Set to "Yes" to make the page display in the navigation, or set to "No" to remove it from the Top and Side Navs.
  • Navigation Title (optional) – This text is what will be used as the actual text in the menu as opposed to the system file name. It allows you to provide more meaningful text since the file name may not always provide the correct context for your website users.
  • File Attachment Area – Click Choose one to select the image from your computer. Files must be smaller than 1MB. Files that cannot be optimized to less than 1MB may be placed on the Large File (Catcher) Server instead.
