It is now possible to configure a Connectr to prevent file uploads in messaging. This is toggled on/off in the admin section for admin users.
How to do this?
Look for 'Connectr Settings' on the left side menu, toggle on/off and click 'Save'.
Once switched on, users can click the paperclip icon (bottom of messaging screen) to attach their documents when messaging a Mentor. If switched off this paperclip icon will not be visible, meaning attachments are not possible.
Why might you want to turn this off?
The need to switch message attachments on/off will differ depending on how you want to use the platform. You may choose to switch it off for greater safeguarding for your users or to reduce CV review requests being sent to your Mentors.
Alternatively, if you have a Connectr for Employees platform, you may wish to keep this feature on for your users to share internal work documents.
