Document | Listing Type

Document listings allow users to upload and share documents, as well as create Journal listings which are a document listing subcategory.

New Hub Listing

Create

To start the creation process:

  • Go to the MY LISTINGS page.

  • Click the DOCUMENT icon to begin creating a new image listing.

Listing Type Modal

This page will be reviewing the creation flow of a New Hub Listing. These links can be used to learn more about how to create a New Version or Remix.

Clicking on the Document icon on the My Listings page will show this flow to the user. The LISTING TYPE modal will open allowing the user to SELECT whether this will be a new listing, new version of existing listing, or remix of someone else’s listing. SELECT the NEW HUB LISTING option and CLICK the NEXT button.

Upload

After a New Hub Listing type is chosen, the user will be brought to the UPLOAD tab and is required to upload a supported file type.

Supported Files Types:

  • WORD: .doc .docm .docx .dot .dotx .rtf .txt

  • EXCEL: .xls .xlsm .xlsx .csv

  • POWERPOINT: .ppt .pptm .pptx

  • ACROBAT PDF: .pdf

After selecting the UPLOAD button, the File Upload and Scanning Tool will launch (see link below for additional instructions, if needed).

After the secure scanning is complete, CLICK the CLOSE on the file upload modal.

Info

The Listing Name for the listing will be auto-populated to match the name of the file that was uploaded on the UPLOAD tab but can be edited at this time to a preferred listing name.

On the INFO tab, users are required to fill in a LISTING NAME and LISTING DESCRIPTION.

Progress on a listing can be saved once the user has uploaded a file, named the listing, and filled out a listing description. This allows the user to fill out all additional fields for their listing at a later time. It is important to note that a listing cannot be promoted from Sandbox to Production until all of a listing’s required fields have been filled out.

Permissions

On the PERMISSIONS Tab, CLICK the LAUNCH button to run the Permissions Wizard. Full instructions can be found at the link below.

How to Manage Listing Permissions

Once permissions have been set, CLICK the SAVE button to save all requested changes and allow the user to set the Hub Visibility of the listing.

The Hub Visibility toggle is located on the top right of a listing's edit page after initial permissions are set. The default is OFF for public visibility on Sandbox listings. The default is ON for public visibility on Production listings.

Digital Thread

  • The current version of the listing

  • Any future versions or remixes created from it

The DIGITAL THREAD tab provides a centralized view of a listing’s entire digital lifecycle. It captures and displays:

When creating a new listing, this tab will initially show only that listing. As you or others create new versions or remixes, those will be added to this view automatically.

You can return to the Digital Thread tab at any time by choosing to EDIT the listing from the MY LISTINGS page.

From the Digital Thread tab, users can set a listing as Authoritative or Certified—but only after it has been promoted to Production.

See the following links for more information on Digital Thread and the Digital Thread Iconology.

Publish

Once all required information for a listing is complete and the listing has been saved, the PUBLISH button becomes available.

Publishing a listing moves it from Sandbox to Production, making it officially available for wider access.

After publishing, users will no longer be able to change files on the UPLOAD tab. However, you can still update:

  • Description on the INFO tab

  • Listing permissions

To publish:

  • Click the PUBLISH button.

  • The Permissions for Production modal will open.

  • Choose between:

    • KEEP CURRENT permissions

    • SET NEW permissions

  • For this example, select KEEP CURRENT and then click NEXT.

Choosing SET NEW permissions will overwrite the existing permissions for the listing.
