Editing Container Documents
As with W-Documents, you can specify under Options whether container documents will be opened in read-only mode when you double-click on the document. By default they are opened for editing.
If you edit a container document, the action dialog is displayed. This dialog is also displayed when you open a container document. However, there are no functions available that allow you to edit data.
You can select these actions when opening or editing a container document:
- Open and manage container
The container will open. You can change properties and add and delete files (see 'Container Module'). - Extract container to working directory
The content of the container is extracted to the directory entered in the properties dialog. - Extract container to directory
The container content is extracted to a directory which you have chosen in a file selection dialog. - Extract container to working directory and open control file
If a control file has been specified, this option extracts the content and transfers the control file to the appropriate application. - Match container to working directory and compress
If the directory entered in the properties dialog contains files that are newer than the ones in the container, the newer files will be imported.
If you unpacked data and the document is checked out, you will have to check it back in. Files may be synchronized, depending on the container's properties.
