To add new files to the hosting library

1. Click the Assets tab, then click Hosting Library.

2. Click New File.

3. Select a Source Type; either Local (a file on your computer) or External (a file on a Web site), and do one of the following:

   • For a local file, click Browse, navigate to a file on your computer, and click Open.

   • For an external file, enter the URL of the file.

4. (Optional) Enter a description of the file.

5. (Optional) Enter an Alt Text description.

   Alt Text is used to describe images for screen readers. If you are adding an image file, add an Alt Text description for it.

6. (Optional) Enter a border size, from 1 to 9 (in pixels).

7. Click Save.

   The file might take a while to load, depending on its file size. When the file has completed loading, the Asset File Details page appears. For more information, see Using the Asset File Details Page. The external files that you add to the hosting library have a thumbnail image that displays in the library. However, the image file is still stored externally. It is not hosted by Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing. If you want to have Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing host an externally hosted image, download the image to your local drive first, then upload it to the hosting library.

8. To return to the hosting library, click Back.
