Documents

You can use the Documents page to configure Document records at your institution.

Document records: 

  • Are classified by Type, such as FERPA, Receiving/Incoming, Send & Return, Send Out.

  • Can be related to campus groups, Anthology Student modules, programs, and sponsoring agencies.

The Documents list contains codes for document records your institution requests from leads or students or documents your institution sends to them.

Anthology Student can display: 

  • Text files
  • Image files (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif)
  • PDF files

Anthology Student will download the document formats it cannot display (such as .doc, . ppt, .rtf, .exe, .html, .js, .vbs, .ts, .dll, and.zip).

If your documents are integrated with Hyland's OnBase, you can also add the external identifier that associates the OnBase document type that was created with the Anthology Student document. If you would rather update the external identifier for multiple documents at once, see Update External Identifiers for Documents.

Note:

  • If you associate a document with a Program, Anthology Student automatically attaches the document to all program versions. To associate a document with a program, select Configuration > Contact Manager > Documents.

  • If you associate a document with a Program Version, Anthology Student does not automatically attach the document to the program. Each program version may have different requirements. To associate a document with a program version, select Configuration > Academic Records > Programs > Program Versions > Documents (tile).

Your institution can define custom properties that are unique to your institution using the Extended Properties page. (Select the Settings tile > expand System > select Extended Properties.)

The Extended Properties section on this page displays all the fields that your institution has defined so that you can view, complete, and edit them. Because the fields vary by institution, your institution will provide tooltips or additional information you need to complete or edit the fields. If your institution has not configured extended properties, this section is not visible.

The document providers you specify here can be selected when your institution configures the Integrated Document Providers page. (Select the Configuration tile > expand Contact Manager > select Integrated Document Providers.)
