The Folder View

The top structure tree, that is, the object structure tree, provides a view of all objects filed in the folder. The tree items in the object structure tree filter the display of objects in the folder based on metadata. The relevant objects will be listed in the object list in the information area when you click a tree item in the object structure tree.

By default, the All objects entry in the object structure tree lists the object types that can be created in the folder. In addition to listing the object types, the folder’s objects can also be extracted by object property such as editor or editing period.

The lower structure tree, referred to as the reference structure tree, lists the objects that reference this folder. The reference structure tree displays the objects that reference the open folder. By default, the referencing objects listed in the reference structure tree are differentiated first by object type and then by ID reference field. The relevant objects will be listed in the object list in the information area when you select a tree item in the reference structure tree.

The referencing objects are not in the open folder. You can use the  Open original context  button in the object area to show the filing location of the referencing object.

When you call up the folder view for the first time or click the Most recent changes button, the information area displays the list of recent changes to objects in the open folder made by you or other yuuvis® RAD users. In addition, the count and the storage size of the objects filed in the folder are shown in the header of the information area. If you select one of these change entries using the mouse, then the aspects for the selected object are shown in the object area.

By clicking the Last viewed button in the title area of the folder view, you can display the objects in the information area that you last viewed in the content preview of this folder. The list of recently viewed objects can contain objects that are stored in the open folder as well as objects that reference the folder. You can see what type of object it is when you select it: For stored objects, an actions menu is available in the header of the object area, and in the case of referencing objects, the  Open original context  button is available.

When you select a structure element in the structure area, a list of the objects stored in the folder or the object references that refer to the folder is displayed in the information area.

List of objects stored in the folder

When you select a tree item in the object structure tree, a list of the objects filed in the folder that matches the selection criteria of the tree item will be displayed. You can also access various actions for further editing the selected objects via the Actions menu in the header of the information area (see Actions Menu).

List of objects referencing the folder

When you select a tree item in the reference structure tree, a list of the objects referencing the folder that match the selection criteria of the tree item will be displayed. You can use the  Open original context  button in the object area to open the original context of the referencing object and edit the object there.

The object area is divided into the object aspects:

Aspect areas can be hidden by the administrator. Similarly, the order of the aspect areas can be determined by the administrator. Additional aspect areas can also be developed and integrated as company-specific.

Depending on the context, you also have a number of actions available in the header of the object area:

	Updates the preview of the object selected in the object area.
	Displays the favorite status of the selected object. Clicking the favorites icon allows you to add the object to your favorites or remove it from the favorites area (see Adding Objects to Favorites).
	Downloads the document file of the selected object in the original format to the local file system (see Download Document File). This is displayed only if the object selected is a document file that has content.
	Downloads a document file for editing (see Opening and Editing a Document File). This is only displayed if: the object selected is a document file that has content; you have the appropriate permissions to edit the file; use of the installed yuuvis® RAD agent has been enabled in the settings (see Connecting yuuvis® RAD agent).
	Opens the actions menu and, depending on the context, offers various actions for the object shown in the object area (see The Actions Menu).
	Indicates that a subscription is available for the selected object (see Creating Subscriptions and Deleting Subscriptions).
	Indicates that a follow-up is available for the selected object (see Creating Follow-ups and Editing or Deleting Follow-ups).
	Indicates that the selected object has been finalized (see Finalizing Objects).
	Indicates that the selected object has been locked by you (see Locking Document Files).
	Indicates that the selected object has been locked by another user.
Link document	The  Link document  button indicates that the selected object is a link document (see Object Versions).
Open original context	The  Open original context  button indicates that the selected object is an object referencing the folder (see References). You can click the button to view the filing location of the selected object.
