Use this function to upload a file to the MeetMax server. Files can be any format and any size. Larger files will take longer to upload and download, depending on the speed of your network connection. Graphic files that you upload can be used to illustrate pages in the registration system; data files can be linked to in a message so that registrants can download the file.

Linking to an Uploaded File
Once a document has been uploaded you can then create a link to that file so your attendees can download the file onto their computers.
To link to an uploaded file:
- After the document has successfully uploaded it will appear in the list of uploaded documents on the Upload tab.
- Copy the link location of that document. To do this position your mouse over the document link in the list, right mouse click and then select the menu item for copy link location or copy shortcut (the wording of the menu items will vary depending on the browser you use.)
- Next, go to the Messages page and find the page upon which you want to put the link to the document. Open for editing a section of the page.
- Within the Message, type something like 'To download a .pdf, please click here.' Using your mouse, highlight the words 'click here'.
- In the Editor window tool bar, click on the icon of the globe with a chain link in front of it. This icon represents the Insert/Edit link function.
- In the Insert Link dialog box that opens up, you will see that it has three tabs across the top: URL, Target and Advanced. On the first of these three, paste your copied link into the field labeled URL.
- If you would like your uploaded document to open in a new window, click onto the second tab, Target, and from the drop-down select "new Window".
- Click 'OK' to close the Insert Link dialog box.
- Select 'Submit' in the editor window to update the message.
