MIME Types

On this page:

PowerSchool uses Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) types to enable a Web browser to display image and text files that are not in HTML format. The MIME type has a type and subtype separated by a slash, such as image/gif and text/plain. Your PowerSchool server sends the MIME type to the Web browser so that it can start the appropriate helper application or plug-in.

PowerSchool is preconfigured with a number of MIME types. Use this page to add, edit, and delete MIME types in PowerSchool.
