====ARDI File Manager====

The File Manager addon gives administrative users the ability to upload, edit and delete files from the ARDI site folder.

//NOTE: We only suggest enabling this addon on servers that are complex/difficult to access via other remote desktop solutions, as users may cause disruption to the ARDI database and/or media collections if files are deleted incorrectly.//

===Overall Use===

The addon uses [[https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/|Tiny File Manager]] as its base, which provides a simple, familiar interface to use when browsing, uploading or maintaining files.

The Advanced Text Editor includes syntax highlighting rules for Javascript, Python and other common types of content.

===Creating Files===

The **New Item** page offers a drop-list of options of not just the normal 'file' and 'folder', but also templates of some common ARDI files, such as reports, infographics and capture types.

===Accessing the File Manager===

You access the file manager from **Administration | File Manager** in the //Addons// area.
