Trash Panel

Once a File is deleted from a Project, it goes into that Project’s Trash folder. The Trash Panel displays all the contents of the Trash Folder, along with functionality to recover them or delete them permanently. Any Folders that are deleted are not saved in the Trash, so the Trash will contain only Files. Files in the Trash still retain all associated metadata, including descriptions, comments and approvals.

 

> To view the Trash Panel, open a Project and click on the Trash link at the bottom of the Folder Tree Panel on the left. The Trash Panel will appear on the right.

 

 

The Trash 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. Panel Name The name of the panel (Project Trash: Project Name)
2. Menubar The Menubar consists of the following elements, all of which are used in conjunction with the checkboxes next to the Files displayed below:
   1. Select All Checkbox When checked, will select all the Files displayed on the page at that moment, which may or may not be the entire contents of the Trash. If you have more than one page of contents, in order to select all the items in the Trash 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 on one page.
   2. Recover Button Click to Recoverthe selected Files, moving them back into a Project
   3. Delete Button Click to permanently Delete the selected Files from Wiredrive
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 Files if there are more than can be displayed per page.
4. Display Options Below the Menubar on the right are the Display Options for the File List below, which consist of:
   1. Display Type Dropdown Used to change the way the Files are displayed. Choose either Gallery or Image List(see 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 Files display on the page at one time
5. File Display Displays the File in the Trash. Trash contents are arranged in alphabetical order by default. There are two different layouts in which you can view the contents: Gallery and Image List. The Image List has more information about each File, while the Gallery allows you to view more Files on the screen by hiding non-critical information, so that each item takes up less space. For more information, click either of the options below.

Note: When an entire Folder is deleted, only the Files contained in the Folder or any subFolders will be moved to the Trash. The Folder itself, and any Folders it contains, will be permanently deleted. While deleted Files can be recovered from the Project Trash until the Project Trash is emptied, deleting a Project will permanently remove the Project and all of its contents from Wiredrive.

 

Emptying the Trash

All the Files in the Trash can be permanently deleted all at once by Emptying the Trash.
