Importing a rendition

This procedure describes how to import a file from outside the repository to use as a new rendition for an existing repository object.

To import a rendition for a file:

  1. Navigate to the file for which you want to import a rendition.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Click More>File>Import Rendition on the file’s line item.

    • If the menu bar is available: select the checkbox for a file. Then select File>Import Rendition.

  3. In the File to Import field, enter the file you want to import. You can type the path to the file, or you can browse to locate the file.

  4. In the Format field, select the rendition’s file format.

  5. In the Description field, enter a description for the rendition. You can use this field to differentiate between multiple renditions of the same format.

    Caution

    Some Renditions features are not available in all products. The Renditions icon is available only in Digital Asset Manager and Web Publisher. Also, having multiple renditions of the same file format is only possible in Digital Asset Manager and Web Publisher. Webtop does not allow a Rendition Description, which would give each Rendition a unique identifier. Therefore, for any new renditions created, Webtop replaces any existing renditions of the same format. For example, a Microsoft Word document can only have one Acrobat PDF rendition at any time.

  6. Click Import.
