The Document and Photo Browser widget allows the user to browse and view the metadata associated with files uploaded to Enterprise. The widget also displays a preview of the file.
The Document and Photo Browser widget has two main panes:
•File List Pane – This section (on the left side of widget) is used to navigate to different folders and files. The folder to the far left will be the root folder (usually "All Items" in the Explorer Widget). The widget will show all the files in this folder. Select a file in the pane to view the metadata associated with the file. The selected file will be highlighted in the pane.
The File List pane can be resized by dragging the || icon with the mouse. Users can set the pane width within the Widget Editor.
•Filter Bar – The filter bar at the top of the File List pane can be used to filter documents by title. Enter a search term (one or more characters) and the display of documents will be limited to the search string.
•Details Pane – This section (on the right side of widget) displays the metadata associated with the selected file and an image preview based on file type. These metadata include: File Name, Owner, Confidential, Facility (in the format <facility code>: <facility name>), Location, Date, Remark and File (this file name is also a download link). Any other metadata fields defined in the RT_FILE_PARAM_TYPE or the DT_FILE_PARAMETER tables will also be displayed. A preview image of the file will be displayed, depending on the type of file. If it is an image file, a preview version of that image will be displayed. If it is a known type of document, including PDF files, a preview image of the first page of that document will be displayed. If it is a zip file, the first level of files in that zip file will be listed in the preview image. If it is an unknown type of file, the file name will be listed in the preview image.
Note: PDF file extensions (.pdf) in DT_FILE.FILE_TYPE must be in lowercase letters for the file to display in the Document and Photo Browser widget. |
