Jackrabbit's Resources feature lets you upload files and add links to the Family, Student, Class, and Staff records where they are stored on the Resources tab.
- Add a resource to a Class record to share with both parents through the Parent Portal and staff via the Staff Portal, or add it to a Student record to share with parents in the Parent Portal.
- Limit access to sensitive documents to only Users with the required permissions.
- Retain resources when a family is placed in the Lead File and later restore them.
The Resources Tab
Each record features a Resources tab where you can upload files and add links (URLs). For example, add a Google Doc link with instructions in the Class record or upload a permission form document to the Family record.
- The Resources tab in each of the Family, Student, Class, and Staff records displays the number of resources on file.
- Each record type can store up to 15MB of data, with usage shown as a progress bar and available space counted down.
- Sort the resources by date created, modified, or alphabetized by resource title or filename.
- Each resource card displays a timestamp for the date created, the User who added the resource, the resource name, file name or URL, time/date, and the name of the User who last modified the resource.
- A badge indicates a restricted resource.
Note: The card for a restricted resource will not display to Users who don't have the View Restricted Files User permission. - A resource shared to the Parent or Staff Portal will display a badge in the Class record to indicate that it has been published.
