Troubleshooting

This troubleshooter addresses common issues and questions about uploading custom content into SafetySmart Online. If your issue isn't covered here, call 1-800-667-9300 or email our Account Team.

Troubleshooting: Uploading Custom Content into SafetySmart Online
  • I can't find the Upload Documents link to upload my content
    First make sure you have the SafetySmart Online Enterprise Edition and have administrator access.
    The Upload Document feature is found in the "Customize" section of SafetySmart Online which can be found at the top right of your screen next to the Help and Logout buttons. Once you've clicked on the customize link, you will be brought to the administration pages. The Upload Document link can be found on the left side of your screen.

  • What file types can I upload?
    The Upload Document feature is compatible with the following file types - be sure the one you are attempting to upload is on the list below:
    .avi, .doc, .docx, .flv, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .mpg. .mp3, .pdf, .pps, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptx, .txt, .wmv, .xls, and .xlsx.

  • The keywords I entered for my custom document aren't working when I use them in the search box
    Keywords that you enter for your document must be separated by commas in the keyword input box. Be sure to check your spelling if you continue to have problems. Keep in mind that the search function does not include plural versions of words you enter, so adding as many singular and plural keywords as possible will reduce search difficulties.

  • How do I edit the document I've uploaded?
    On the Upload Document screen (under the Customize link, under the Upload Document link) find the document you would like to change. Click on the edit button at the far right (the icon is a pencil) and you can make whatever changes you need. Be sure to click upload again so your changes take effect.

  • How do I delete the document I've uploaded?
    On the Upload Document screen find the document you would like to delete and click on the delete button at the far right (the icon is a red "X").

How-To Guide: Uploading Custom Content (Enterprise Edition Only)
    Follow these easy instructions to upload your own content into SafetySmart Online

  1. From the main screen of SafetySmart Online, click on the Customize link found at the top right of your screen. This will take you to the customization administration pages.

  2. Click on the Upload Document link. A screen will appear where you can upload new or revised content to SafetySmart Online.

  3. Review the types of files that can be uploaded and be sure the one you are uploading is on the following list: .avi, .doc, .docx, .flv, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .mpg. .mp3, .pdf, .pps, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptx, .txt, .wmv, .xls, and .xlsx.

  4. Click on the Upload A New Document link and the document upload page will appear.

  5. First you want to name your document. This is how everyone will see it on SafetySmart Online - think of it as the title.

  6. Second, you assign keywords to your document. This will allow people using SafetySmart online to use the search by keyword feature to find the material. Try to think of the different ways people will search for this. You can add as many keywords as you like. They should be separated by commas. Now when someone uses one of the keywords you've entered as a search term, not only will the regular safetysmart online content show but your uploaded document will as well.

  7. Next you choose the file you want to upload. Click browse to locate the file and then click open. The file name should now appear in this box.

  8. The next step is to chose where you want your uploaded material to go. You can choose to have it show up everywhere on SafetySmart Online by selecting the Select All box in each category or you can specify where you want it to appear.

  9. Now you select the document type you are uploading. In most cases you will select other but if you'd like an icon to appear next to the file to indicate that it's a PowerPoint or leadersheet, select this instead.

  10. Click the upload button and your information will show up on the main upload page.
