The long view details the document's type (e.g., reading), file format (e.g., PDF), size, summary of its contents, the date it was last modified and by whom.
The short view details the document's type (e.g., reading), file format (e.g., PDF), and size. - Enable unpacking of ZIP or JAR files: Enables the uploading of compound documents containing more than one file (such as a .zip file, an HTML page and embedded image files or several PDF pages). You would select this option if you are uploading compound documents as class materials. (See Adding Documents to Topics.)
- Show meeting times as single large HTML field: Displays a large text-entry box for the Meeting Times on the Edit Homepage. This is useful if a class or section has more than five meeting times and locations, (i.e., more than fit in the default Meeting Times grid). You can then add the information as plain or HTML text . For example, the following HTML statement
<p><b>Recitation:</b> Thursday, 10:30 a.m. (9-250) </p>
produces the following output
Recitation: Thursday, 10:30 a.m. (9-250)
See [Changing Meeting Types, Times, and Dates] on the Homepage for more information.
