Importing Files

These are instructions for using the Import files tab on the Editor's Tools screen. The CMS can import plain text files into the body of an article on demand. This allows site administrators to utilize 'drop box' folders from which Cofax can import content for output from their publishing systems.

Under Local Files will be a list of files located on the CMS server.

If you've configured your publication to use FTP to import content a list of files will be displayed under the Remote Files. If you haven't, or the FTP server cannot be reached, an appropriate message will be displayed telling you why you cannot use this section.

Choose a file and click Import File.

Clicking the Import File button has brought you to the Articles screen. The file name of the text file has pre-populated the Code field. The text of the file is in the Body field. Make any other changes and save your article.
