Folder Window

enaio® client • 11.0 »

If you double-click on a folder or register in the hit list to open it or press Open, the folder window will open as the location. In the 'Settings' dialog (ENAIO ribbon tab > Settings > Result window > Show separators), choose if you want to show or hide the status bar and separators.

The folder window is separated into three areas: the navigation area on the left, the content area at the top right, and the optional link area at the bottom right. You can adjust the width of areas by dragging it with the mouse. There is a status bar below the areas of the folder window.

Folder Window

Folder window – Navigation area

The navigation area contains the register tree. If you select a register or a folder, the folder name will be set in bold, and the content will be shown in the content area on the right.

The index data chosen in the settings (see 'Fields' area ) allows you to identify folders and registers in the navigation. In the 'Settings' dialog, you can additionally define whether or not to alphabetize registers and whether or not to display the number of objects contained in a register in front of each register.

The number of objects displayed does not take into account whether you have access to all objects. That is why the hit list may contain fewer objects than shown here.

Folder window – Content area

The content area lists the content of the selected register or folder. You can have the contents shown in the report or quicklook view. Click the appropriate buttons on the status bar of the result window to switch between the two views.

To hide the content area, select Options from the context menu of the folder icon in the object search. Untick the checkbox for the Show register tree option. Further options enable you to alphabetize the registers within a layer of the navigation area.

You can filter the content in the content area. In the case of filters you personally created, only the folder content conforming to the filter criteria is shown (see View Filters).

Folder window – Link area

The link area displays the links of a selected register or document. If several objects are selected, the links of the top object are shown. You can drag objects into the link area to create links. You can also filter the content in the link area (see View Filters).

Folder window – Status bar

The different view options of the folder window can be found in the status bar:

  • Quicklook view icon Quicklook view

    In the quicklook view, you will see a preview of the first page of image documents and W-Documents which are created in a Microsoft Office application. A default icon will be displayed for folders, registers, and other documents.

  • Report view icon Report view

    In the report view you will see the folder content as a list. The list columns are displayed just like they are in a hit list (see Searching for Documents). You can group the folder content (see Grouping Hit Lists).

  • Register tree icon Register tree

    All folder documents will be shown regardless of their location in registers. The navigation area will be hidden.

    Go to Options > context menu of the folder type in the object search to specify whether the folder hit list is shown as a register tree.

    Use the context menu of the objects in the left navigation area to open them in a new window.

  • Link area icon Link area

    Click the icon to show and hide the link area. The link area shows the links of a marked object.
