Add & Publish a document

The Publish Menu lets you set up Documents, Messages, and URL links to web pages and publish them into single sites, multiple sites, or groups. When you publish a message from the Desktop to the Tablet a message status will show when it has been sent, delivered, and read.

  • Documents must be pdf files up to a maximum 2MB in size
  • Messages are like simple text messages
  • URLs do not need to include ‘http://’ when created, they should be as follows: simswap.com

To create a new Document, click the Add button [1].

Set the Category [2] to Document and give it a Title [3].

Set the Priority [4], this can be either High, Normal or Low. This follows the same priority indicator rules as Kitchen Manager, for example a High Priority document would be about Covid PPE Cleaning Protocol, a Normal Priority document would be a new recipe and a Low Priority document would be about replacing broom handles safely. 

Set the Available from [5] and Available to [6] dates. When the Available to date has passed the Document will not be accessible on the tablets.

Set which Folder [7] the Document will be saved to; these are the folders in the Menu Tree [8].

Click the Choose File button [9] to upload the desired document.

NOTE  Documents must be pdf files up to a maximum 2MB in size.

Use the Notes field [10] to add any useful comments or notes then click Upload [11].
