Granting a document to a group

I have a group in Supervisor with three sub groups. The set up is this…

Main Group
Subgroup1
Subgroup 1a
Subgroup 1b
Subgroup 1c

I click on subgroup 1 and choose resource link and I am presented with a list of documents to choose from.

I click on any of the a, b, and c subgroups, choose resource link, and I am told “There is no available document to add”. Why?

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. Talk slowly but think quickly.
Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. Mind your own business.
Learn the rules then break some.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Can’t explain the techinical side, but from experience, you can go “sideways and down”
ie Peers can see documents for peers and children, but not their children don’t have the same priveledges

My guess is the documents you are after are “owned” by Subgroup 2 or Subgroup 2a/b/c !

Anyhow, there’s a simple solution to actually achieving the links you want (I’ve had no problems doing this but somebody might say I’m breaking some fundemental rules)

Simply move the group you want to link the documents to, next the the group that “owns” the documents, use the link option then move them back to their original place

Well I suppose if the rule was so all fired ‘fundamental’, it wouldn’t be quite so easy to break huh? Pretty cool!

Thanks Simon!!!
