The Private File command works in the same manner as the Upload File. It is only used when an individual is uploading a file to a Private Department page. Using this command versus the regular Upload File ensures the uploaded file is secure from being viewed.

Upload File Tab

  • Title (required): Enter text to reflect what information is in the file you will be uploading.

  • Upload File (required): Click Choose File, select the file, then click Upload. The Internet Explorer browser has a Browse versus Choose File button. Allowed file types are: .TXT, .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .PPT, .PPTX, .XLS, .XLSX, .XLT, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, .BMP, .TIFF, and .CSV. They must be less than 50 MB.

  • Add to Downloadable Forms: If checked, this File will appear in lists of downloadable forms typically linked from the website homepage and usually named Forms and Documents.

  • Description: This section is where text, images, and tables can be added. The Body section is the freeform area and functions similarly to Microsoft Word or the message section for email. See Section 20 for more details about Free-Form.
