Dynamic List Wizard (Create New)

The Create New wizard is used to add files to a dynamic list. The site designer decides what kinds of files you can add: a contributor data file or native document, and/or an existing file on your local computer.

Note: You cannot add an existing file on the content server, since any file on the server that meets the criteria of the dynamic list would be included in the list. If certain expected files do not appear in the dynamic list, then you should modify the metadata of these files to meet the list criteria, or you should change the list criteria to be more inclusive.

The Create New wizard consists of several steps, depending on the choices you make during the process.

Note: You can step through the wizard faster by clicking the blue arrow to the left of the option you want to use. This automatically selects the option and moves the wizard to the next step.

The first step is to select the type of content file that is added to the dynamic list. Depending on what the site designer has decided to allow, you may choose to add the following files to the list:

• a new contributor data file

• a new native file (of specific file formats)

• an existing file on your local computer

New Contributor Data File

To add a new contributor data file to the dynamic list, select New Contributor data file. You are taken to a content check-in form, where you can provide the metadata for the contributor data file and check the file into the content server. The file is empty until you (or another contributor) edits it.

New Native File

To add a new native document to the dynamic list, select New native file and select the file format. (The site designer decides what file formats are available.) You are taken to a content check-in form, where you can provide the metadata for the native document and check the file into the content server. All required metadata fields are marked red. The file is empty until you (or another contributor) edits it.

Existing File on Your Computer

To add an existing file on your computer to the dynamic list, select Existing local file. You are taken to a content check-in form, where you can provide the metadata for the file and check the file into the content server. All required metadata fields are marked red. Use the Browse button next to the Primary File field to navigate to the file on your computer you want to use and select it.
