You can upload a file that does not yet exist in Cascade at the same time you choose to insert an image or create a hyperlink within the content region.

Inserting an Image

Place your pointer in the area desired for the image and click on the insert image icon on the toolbar. The insert image window offers two tabs – one for internal images and one for external, such as one on an external Web site. We are going to insert an image that is not yet in Cascade but you want to upload to Cascade, so we’ll stay on the default Internal tab.

Click the file chooser icon.

Choose the folder into which you wish to upload the image file.

 
 
Select the folder. It is only when the folder is selected that the Upload pane will appear.

Click the Upload pane.

You must have write permissions to the folder selected. Also, the folder must not require a workflow (or you must be able to bypass the workflow).

 
 
Navigate to the location of the file you wish to upload, located on your hard drive, external drive, network drive, etc.

Select the file and choose Open.

 

The Select File box in Cascade will contain the path of the file you have chosen to upload.

Select the Upload button.

Choose the Confirm button and confirm that the file has been uploaded to Cascade.

 
Inserting a Hyperlink

Select the content you wish to hyperlink and click on the insert hyperlink icon on the toolbar. The insert hyperlink window offers two tabs – one for internal images and one for external, such as one pointing to an external Web site. We are going to create a hyperlink to a file that is not yet in Cascade but you want to upload to Cascade, so we’ll stay on the default Internal tab.

Click the page chooser icon.  

Choose the folder into which you wish to upload the file.

Select the folder – it is only when the folder is selected that the Upload pane will appear.

Click the Upload pane.

You must have write permissions to the folder selected. Also, the folder must not require a workflow (or you must be able to bypass the workflow).

From here just follow the same instructions as those for uploading an image.
