Docs / Settings & Administration / The Media library

The Media library

Uploading, file limits, searching, type tabs and use in reports.

The Media library holds every file in the workspace — photographs, PDFs, documents and video.

Uploading

Two ways:

Upload Files
Drag and drop anywhere on the page

The maximum file size is 10 MB. Larger files are rejected, so compress large photographs or split large PDFs before uploading.

The New menu offers other ways to add content.

Finding files

Search matches on name, description or path. Alongside it:

A folder filter
A sort order — newest first by default
Grid and List views

Grid is better for images, list for documents where the filename matters.

Type tabs

Files are grouped by type, each with a count:

All files, Images, Videos, PDFs, Documents, Archives, Other.

Using media in reports

The Media library is where the Report Builder's Media picker looks. Anything uploaded here, or saved from the image and map annotation editors, can be inserted into a report section.

This is why figures created with Create image or Map annotation must be saved before they can be attached — saving puts them here. See Adding images and figures.
