Add Uploaded Document Format

This dialog appears in Edit mode, as shown below, for updating a document type record in the Uploaded Document Formats dialog.

This dialog includes the following fields:

Name - Required. Enter a descriptive name for the file format. This name does not need to be unique. For example, you can have multiple Microsoft Word formats (.doc, .dot, etc.)
Extension - Required. Enter a valid file format extension for the file type specified.
Image - Optional. An icon image associated with this upload format.
MIME Type - Specifies the Internet media type associated with this file format. Enter the two-part identifier so that CommonSpot properly sets the document MIME Type on access.
Upload Limit - Displays the following options:

No Limit - Default. Allows uploads of any size for this file type.
Set Limit - Displays the following fields for defining upload file size limits.

File Size Limit - Required if Set Limit is defined above. Specify a file size limit in bytes for the selected file format.
Warning Message - Optional. The message displayed to contributors when the document upload size exceeds the value in the File Size Limit field.

Indexable - Optional. Unchecked (default) this file type is excluded from full-text indexes. Checked, full-text indexes include this file type.

Note that indexing a document requires that you both check this option and select the include in indexes option at the page level. If a document type is not indexable, CommonSpot ignores the include in indexes option. Click Save to update Uploaded Document Formats or Cancel to exit.
