The Media Space

All about the Media space

The icon for the Media space looks like an image with a play button and it's on the left of the bottom page navigation menu. You can tap those icons to move between the Notes space, Media space, and Comments space.

Use this space to add any media that doesn't fit in the Notes space. You can also group media and give groups a title for further organization.

Creating a Media Group

To start adding media to the Media space simply tap on the grey tile with the purple "+" symbol. Then you'll be presented with a menu where you can choose what type of media you'd like to upload. There are five options. See the Media Types section below. For each option a media tile is created. When you tap on the media tile it will open the full version.

Media is automatically added to a group. You can have a single group or many. Groups are intended as a way to organize your media. For iOS users to rename the group title tap and hold on the title, then you'll be presented with a menu that allows you to "Rename" the group. For Android users to rename a group title just tap on the title, then you'll be presented with a menu that allows you to "Rename" the group.

Media Types

1) Use Camera to Take Photo: With this option you'll capture a new photo with your phone's camera and it will automatically be added to the Media space. If you enabled the proper app permissions for the Outlinx app, the photo will also be automatically saved to your device's photos app. This option uploads the image to our server.

2) Use Camera to Record Video: With this option you'll capture a new video with your phone's camera and it will automatically be added to the Media space. If you enabled the proper app permissions for the Outlinx app, the video will also be automatically saved to your device's photos app. Videos added this way must be 150MB or less. This option uploads the video to our server.

3) Pick Image/Video from Library: With this option you'll pick an existing image/video from your device's photos library. Videos added this way must be 150MB or less.

4) Add YouTube Video from URL: With this option you'll enter the URL for a YouTube video, and that video will be linked to the media tile. The app will automatically create a tile using info from the link address. If no background image is available the app will add a purple placeholder.

5) Add Website Link from URL: With this option you'll enter the URL for a website or other weblink, and it will be linked to the media tile. The app will automatically create a tile using info from the link address. If no background image is available the app will add a purple placeholder.

Media Group Menu Editing and Options

There are a number of things you can do to edit the Media space to make it work best for your purposes.

1) Media Group Menu: The media group menu offers three options listed below. To open the media group menu on iOS tap and hold on the group title, and the menu will be presented. To open the media group menu on Android simply tap on the group title, and the menu will be presented.

• Rename a media group title: Choose this option to rename a media group. Simply give it a date, or enter a title that describes something about the media in that group.

• Delete a media group: Choose this option if you'd like to delete the group and all of the media in the group. When you delete your media it's deleted from our servers forever.

• Reorder a media group: If you have multiple groups in your Media space, you can reorder them. When you choose this option you'll be presented with a list of all the groups in your Media space, and you can drag the items in the list to order them how you desire.

2) Move media tiles: You can move tiles in a group, and move tiles between groups. To move tiles on iOS, tap and hold on a tile until it flashes, then drag and drop it to the desired location. To move tiles on Android, tap and hold on a tile until it shrinks twice (if haptics are on you'll also feel 2x pulses), then drag and drop it to the desired location.

3) Add media groups: To add another media group tap the "+ ADD GROUP" button, which is below the last media group. Or to add the first media group tap the grey tile with the purple "+" symbol to add an item of media and the first group will automatically be created.

Media Tile Menu Options

There are a couple things you can do with media tiles as well. To open the media tile menu on iOS tap and hold on a media tile (longer than the first flash) until the menu is presented. To open the media tile menu on Android tap and hold on a media tile until it shrinks once (if haptics are on you'll also feel 1x pulse) and the menu will be presented.

• You can download media from a media tile. This only applies to images & videos that were uploaded (ie you can't download linked YouTube videos, or weblinks).

• You can delete an individual media tile. When you choose to do this the media will be deleted from our servers.
