6.3.Item list and item preview
If a folder is selected in the navigation pane, its items are displayed in the list view. Each item has several columns. The available item columns are entity-specific and the items can be sorted by these columns (red frame). The administrator may define in the Settings (will be described further in section Table view column configurations) which columns will be visible and which will be hidden.
The item preview (extended metadata information/the body of emails) gets displayed by selecting the particular item from the list view (green frame). If the Preview service was installed (and enabled in the Central Administration) with the package, the user can download the item or view the file’s preview in the Portal. If it wasn’t installed, the preview only contains the metadata information/the body of emails), and the user cannot check the file’s preview.
When the Preview service is enabled, the Preview and Download buttons are displayed in the file’s preview in addition to the extended metadata information.
- Download button – the user can download the item directly from the preview
- Preview button – the file’s preview is opened, and the user can view the content of the selected item
When the file’s preview is opened, the following actions are available for the user:
- 1. Back – it leads back to item preview with the metadata
- 2. Open in new tab – opens the file in a new window in the browser
- 3. Download – the user can download the file from here
Open in new tab
When the selected file is opened in a new window in the browser, the user can either check the whole length of the file, print the item, or download it. By clicking on the Download button, the user can also decide how he wants to download the original file (by keeping the original extension – .txt, .docx, etc.) or as a PDF. In that case, the file will be converted into a pdf item and downloaded as one.
