Set Up a Download

Use the "Set Up a Download" menu item to set up a file for downloading. The set-up accepts the following information:

A title.

Give the download record a title. "Product package ZIP file" for example. A title is optional. However, it is easier to find the setup for editing and obtaining statistics when it has an expressive title.

Location of downloadable file.

This is the only required field.

The location of the downloadable file is where the file is located on the server, the directory path and file name.

The location can be determined by the file's URL. Remove the http:// and domain name and the location is left. Example: http://example.com/secret/file.zip is at location /secret/file.zip

Downloaded file name.

Optionally, specify a file name for the download, the file name the browser suggests when the user is prompted to save the download. The specified name may be different than the original name of the downloadable file.

If no name is specified, the file defaults to the original name for download.

Tags

Tags or key words may be specified to help find the setup record in the database for editing, exporting, or getting statistics.

Tags can help find records to group with other records for statistics or exporting.

Separate tags with a comma and optional space. (Maximum 255 characters and spaces.)

Private note.

A note may be typed regarding the setup.

Disabled.

After the setup has been created, a "Disabled" checkbox is provided on the record editing page that can be checked to disable a download without deleting the setup from the database.
