How to Setup Resource Library Space in SureDash

The Resource Library Space in SureDash allows admins to share documents, files, and external links in a secure and organized way. It provides flexible layout options for display and ensures resources are easy for users to access, bookmark, and engage with.

How to Create a Resource Library Space

Go to the Space Group where you want to add the Resource Library and click the + Add New Space to create a new Space.

Enter the Space Title and Space Icon, next select Resource Library as the Space Type. Select the Space Group where the Resource Library should appear, then click Create Space.

You will be taken to the Space page, where you can select the Layout Style on the right sidebar for how resources will be displayed to users:

• Grid/Card view – Resources shown as cards with icons
• List view – Resources displayed in a vertical list format
• Stacked view – Resources arranged in a stacked list view

Along with layout, you can also:

• Enable or disable comments, likes, and sharing
• Pin important resources at the top for quick access

Add resources to the library by clicking Add Resource. You can choose between two types:

• Upload – Upload files such as documents, images, or videos directly to the protected Resource Library folder (/suredashboard/resources/). These files are stored securely and cannot be accessed directly via URL.
• External – Add links to websites or third-party resources.

Each resource includes:

• Title and description (up to 20 words)
• File type indicator (PDF, DOCX, etc.) for uploaded files
• Icons – Folder icon for uploads, Link icon for external resources
• Metadata – Categorization and description for better organization

Use the Content Editor to add detailed descriptions, instructions, or additional formatting to a resource.

Once resources are added, publish the Space by setting the Space Status to Published and clicking Create Space.

Media Library Integration

• Files uploaded in the Resource Library are automatically labeled with a “Resource Library:” prefix in the WordPress Media Library for easy identification.
• Uploads are context-aware, meaning files uploaded within the Resource Library automatically go into the protected folder.

This way, the Resource Library Space provides a secure, flexible, and professional catalog of resources that’s easy for admins to manage and simple for users to explore.
