Managing Documents

Upload, organize, preview, and maintain files in PawPlacer

In this guide

Key sections from this documentation page.

Upload FilesPreview and DownloadFind and Sort Files

Open More > Documents to manage the organization's shared files.

Upload Files

Choose Upload Documents, select the files, and then add any useful context:

  • A destination folder
  • A category
  • A description
  • A related record, such as a pet or person

The uploader accepts common images, PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, Apple iWork documents, text and data files, presentations, and ZIP archives. The upload dialog shows the current size limit before you select files.

Preview and Download

Click a document to preview it when its format is supported. PawPlacer can preview common images, PDFs, plain-text and structured-text files, spreadsheets, video, audio, and modern Word documents. Other accepted files, including presentations and archives, remain available for download even when an in-app preview is not available.

Use Download whenever you need the unchanged original.

Find and Sort Files

Use search for a document name or description. The filter rail narrows results to favorites, entity-linked documents, folders, or categories. Use the Sort menu for:

  • Name A–Z or Z–A
  • Newest or oldest upload
  • Category
  • Folder or linked entity

Table view is best for comparing metadata. Gallery view is useful for scanning visual files and folder contents.

Folders, Categories, and Related Records

Folders can be nested. Open a folder to view its contents, use the breadcrumb to move upward, and create a subfolder with New Folder.

Categories label the kind of document without changing where it is stored. Related records connect a file to the animal, person, event, or other record it belongs to. Use all three together when useful:

  • Folder: Adoption paperwork
  • Category: Signed agreement
  • Related record: the adopted pet

To reorganize several files, select them and use the bulk move action.

Edit or Remove a Document

Open a document's actions to edit its name, description, category, folder, or related record. You can also toggle its favorite status, move it, download it, or delete it. Available actions depend on your document permissions.

Before deleting a folder, move or remove anything inside it. Deleting a document removes it from the shared library and from any related record where it appeared.
