Folder View Panel

The Folder View Panel displays all the Folders and/or Files in a selected Folder in the current Project, and is where a majority of the File and Folder Management takes place. By default, the Folders and Files are displayed in alphabetical order, with Folders being displayed first.

 

> To view the Folder View Panel, open the Project Folder Page in a Project by click on a Folder Name in the Folder Tree Panel, or the Latest Additions Panel. The Folder View Panel will appear on the right.

 

 

The Folder View Panel contains the following elements:

1. Panel Header The Panel Header is the light grey area at the top of the Panel. It consists of:
   1. Folder Name The name of the open Folder
   2. Send Folder Button On the right side of the Panel Header is the Send Folder button. Click to send a Presentation of the currently open Folder
   3. Upload Button To the right of the Senf Folder Button is the Upload Button. Click to Upload Files into the open Folder.
2. Menubar The Menubar consists of the following elements, all of which are used in conjunction with the checkboxes next to the Folders and Files displayed in the Folder & File Display:
   1. Select All Checkbox When checked, the Select All checkbox at the far left of Menubar will select all the Folders and Files displayed on the page at that moment, which may or may not be the entire contents of the Folder. If you have more than one page of contents, in order to select all the items in the Folder using the Select All checkbox you must change the Per Page Dropdown (see Display Options below) to a high enough number to list all the contents at once.
   2. Download Button Click to initiate the Download of all Folders and Files selected from the display below
   3. Move Button Click to Move all Folders and Files selected from the Folder & File Display
   4. Copy Button Click to Copy all Folders and Files selected from the Folder & File Display
   5. Delete Button Click to Delete all Folders and Files selected from the Folder & File Display
3. Pagination Below the Menubar on the left is the Pagination

   Pagination

   For faster page loading and easier management, pages with long lists will only display a certain number of items on the page at one time. If the total number of items in the list is more than the number selected in the Per Page Dropdown, only the first "page" of items will display, and Pagination will appear on the top left of the list to allow you to navigate to the other pages. For example, if there are 32 items in a list and the Per Page Dropdown is set to 25, there would be two pages of items (page 1 displaying items 1-25 and page 2 displaying items 26-32), and the Pagination would display to allow you to switch between them. But if the Per Page Dropdown were to be changed to 50, all 32 items could display on one page so the Pagination would not be needed.

   

   Pagination consists of the following elements:

   • Two arrow icons, which allow you to navigate to the previous and next page of items
   • Information about the page of items you are viewing, in the form of #-# of #. For example, if there are 32 items in a list, and the Per Page Dropdown is set to 25, when viewing the first page it would read 1-25 of 32 and when viewing the second page it would read 26-32 of 32.
   • Direct links to the each page of items. Clicking on 1 will take you to the first page, 2 the second page, and so on. The page number you are currently viewing will be highlighted and will not link.
   , which displays when necessary to navigate through the list of Folders and Files if there are more than can be displayed on the page at one time (number to be displayed per page is determined by the Per Page Dropdown-see Display Options below).
4. Display Options Below the Menubar on the right are the Display Options for the Folder and File Display below, which consist of:
   1. Display Type Dropdown Used to change the way the Folders and Files are displayed. Choose either Gallery or Image List (see Folder & File Display below).
   2. Per Page Dropdown Changing the Per Page Dropdown

      Per Page Dropdown

      For faster page loading and easier management, pages with long lists will only display a certain number of items on the page at one time. This number is set by the Per Page Dropdown, which is part of the Display Options available on the top left of the list. In the Per Page Dropdown are a series of increasing numbers which correspond to how many items will be displayed per page. By default, the Per Page Dropdown is set to the lowest number available. The Dropdown will not display if the total number of items in the list is less than the lowest number in the Dropdown. When more than one page of items need to be displayed, Pagination will appear on the top left of the list to allow you to navigate between pages.

       allows you to change how many Folders and Files display on the page at one time
5. Folder & File Display Displays all of the Folder(s) and/or File(s) within the open Folder. Folder contents are arranged in alphabetical order by default with Folders appearing first, followed by Files. There are two different layouts in which you can view the contents: Gallery and Image List. The Image List has more information about each Folder or File, while the Gallery allows you to view more Files and/or Folders on the screen by hiding non-critical information, so that each item takes up less space.
