Overview

You can display a list of documents from the same category within a "DOCman - Documents" module. When new documents are added to the category, the module will automatically update the list.

Procedure

1. In the Joomla! back-end (Control Panel), navigate to Extensions > Site Modules, then click the New Button to create a new module:
   
2. Select DOCMan - Documents from the list that appears under "Select a Module Type:"
   
3. Enter a Title for your module (see #1 below).
4. Click within the Categories field and select your DOCMan category (see #2 below).
5. For "Position," click the dropdown menu, and select the desired module position.  For example, to display the module to the left of the content area, select "Sidebar-left [sidebar-left ]". Read more about Module Positions here.
6. Click the "Menu Assignment" menu to specify which menu items will display your module (see #3 below).
   
   • If the new module should appear on all pages, leave "On all pages" selected. If not, refer to Assigning a Module to one or more menu items.
7. Click Save & Close to the upper left (see #4 below).
