Attachments and Linking
Return to Help
As you have encountered throughout CTSpedia, we use attachments and links frequently in our work.In most instructional materials, these are treated as two different sets of instructions but we often use these interchangeable in our work.
Attachment
Graphic: JPG, PNG, GIF or Text and Data Files: PDF, Word, TXT, CSV, XPT and Many Others
First - Label the files you will be attaching
Labeling Your Files Before Upload
- Name of university or name of contributor, e.g. Rochester, UCSF, Davis OR Soukup and then underscore
- Name of macro, R-function, etc OR other title - Title from form and underscore
- Type of file, e.g. SAS or Doc
Go to your directory, browse and find file.
- After clicking on "Browse", find the Directory and the file.
- Make sure that it is named correctly.
NOTE: Do Not Use a date in the title. DO USE today's date in the Comment box. When you add new versions of the file, you will be able to add updated dates to the Comments but the wiki always keeps the original file name.

Second - Open attachment page on your CTSpedia wiki page
Go to the top right of the topic page that you are working on and click on the "Attach" button. This page will open:

After opening the file put a description in the Comment box (name, dates and/or version numbers) and check on Properties: "Do not show attachment in table" - to hide list of attachments. Click on "Upload file" button.
