IC: Message Attachments

Warning: When sending Class Messages to parents via Infinite Campus (IC), do not use the [Add Email Attachment] button. - Why?... Some parents prefer to view IC messages using Campus Portal. Unfortunately, attachments are only sent via email; they are not included in the IC Message Center.

What should I do if I have to share a file with parents?... The best option is to link the file from Google Drive. Follow the steps listed below (video tutorial):

Start with Google Drive...

    1. Upload the file to Google Drive
    2. Right-click the file... select the Get link option
    3. Change the setting from Restricted to: Anyone with the link
    4. Make sure the permission is set to: Viewer
    5. Click the Copy link button... click the Done button

Next, compose your Class Message in IC...

    1. Select (highlight) the word(s) you want to hyperlink
    2. Click the link icon... select the Insert Link option
    3. Paste the link into the URL field... click the Insert button

When you send your message, parents will now be able to open the linked file from their email or Campus Portal.
