The goal of a site is to share folders, documents, images, or files with users outside of molti.  Once you've created your site, you'll need to decide what to share on your site.  

Want to share pictures of your family vacation? Go for it!

Want to share training docs so your team can ace the next pop quiz?  You're the boss!

Want to share real estate listings to bag the next big sale?  You're an animal.

... You get the idea.  


There are two ways to share on a site, by assigning projects, or assigning folders.

To assign a project to a site:

  1. Go to the Sites  tab and select the site you want to edit.

  2. On the Edit Site  page, locate the Assigned tabs  on the left side of the page.

  3. Select the Assigned Projects tab.

  4. Select the project(s) you want to share from the drop down menu. 

  5.  If you want site users to be able to upload to that project, toggle the Cloud icon  to enable upload.  The icon will turn blue once enabled.

It's important to know, when you assign a project to a site you are allowing users to see the contents of the project's Public  folder.  This prevents you from accidentally sharing all files uploaded to a project.

When you enable uploads to a project, all uploaded documents will be sent to the project's Public folder.  The Public   folder is a default folder automatically created for every project.  All users assigned to a project will be notified when a file is uploaded.

To assign a folder to a site:

  1. Go to the Sites tab and select the site you want to edit.

  2. On the Edit Site  page, locate the Assigned tabs  on the left side of the page.

  3. Select the Assigned Folders  tab.

  4. Select the folder(s) you want to share from the expandable menu.

  5. Select the + Add button. 

  6.  If you want site users to be able to upload to that project, toggle the Cloud icon  to enable upload.  The icon will turn blue once enabled.

  7. If you want certain workgroup users to be notified when a file is uploaded, select the Envelope icon  and select their name from the drop down menu.  Select Add  to confirm.  Users assigned to a project will also be notified when a file is uploaded.

When you assign a folder to a site, all the contents of that folder are viewable by site users.  All uploaded documents will go directly to the assigned folder.
