    Summary

    The bulk upload plugins gives you the ability to upload batches of documents, allowing you to easily import your collection of documents into your community.

    By default, the utility is accessible through

    • Profile Actions (Self)
    • Profile Actions
    • Profile Overview (i.e. User's Stuff)

    Installation:

    1. Download the plugin from the Plugin Directory
    2. Optional: if you are familiar with plugins and want to edit the locations under which the link appears, edit the plugin.xml
    3. Install the jar in the admin console and restart your Jive installation.
    That's it, you're done.

     

    If you want to add some custom locations (i.e. not through Jive components) you can always add a link to bulk-upload!inputLocation.jspa(i.e. action bulk-upload method inputLocation).

    Any user can use to utility but they can only upload to locations they could have normally upload a document too be able to.

     

    Please bear in mind that this is not a product but rather a tool created for our internal use, which has proven useful for us.

    Feel free to give it a try, we would love to hear some feedback.

     

    Notes:

    The Jive 4 version isn't expected to receive future updates if any will come up.
