Introduction
The video summarizes GearLog's document management solution, which is used to keep
key documents and equipment inventory records on the same platform. The process
involves two parts: setting up folders and then uploading documents into them.
Folder Setup
Folders are created on the Settings menu. You can view the folder
hierarchy in two ways:
- Indented: Folders are stacked underneath each other.
- Nested: Folders expand as a hierarchy.
To create a new folder, hit the plus button, provide a name , and
choose if it should be filed underneath an existing folder. Folders that do not contain documents can be deleted using the trash
can icon.
Restricted Folders
Folders highlighted in blue are restricted. Only users with a
specific setting enabled on their user profile can see documents inside these
folders. This is useful for sensitive items like training records or staff
assessments.
Adding Files
Files or documents are added on the Tools menu under the Files
option. When adding a new document, click the upload icon and provide a name. You
have two options for the file source:
- Upload a file: Select a file from your computer or network.
- Web Link (URL): Provide a link to the file, which acts as a
bookmark.
The "Sticky Link" Feature
For uploaded documents, GearLog creates a "sticky link" that never changes. This link
can be shared and will always direct users to the latest version of the file, even
if the document is edited and a new version is uploaded later.
