The FileWalker view element can access files on
the network. This requires a connection and sufficient permissions to
the network to function. The connection can be set up in the properties
of the view element or in the Integration module.
Select the desired connection to the network directory in the Connection
selection list. By clicking New, a new connection can be set up.
In the Style area in the properties dialog, the
type of display in the browser can be defined.
Explorer
With the Explorer style, the connected
directories will be shown with subfolders and files in the browser. By
clicking on a directory name, the directory will be opened. Clicking on
a file name will open the file, whereby the program that opens it
depends on the file type. The symbols shown to the right make possible
the direct editing of directory and file names, as well as copying,
opening, downloading (only files) and deleting (directories as well).
The sorting order can be changed via the column headers.
The four symbols at the head of the explorer allow for navigation in
the directory structure one level above. New folders can be created and
refreshed. New files can also be created. Users can define the default
path (path that will be shown as the starting directory in the
explorer) via the symbol to the right of the name of the current folder.
Search
The Search style will use the
FileWalker as a full text search. In the edit field, the user can
search by any type of search term, as long as the file type allows it.
In scanned documents that are saved as image files, no hits will be
returned. All files that return hits will be shown in the table in the
lower area and can be opened via a link.
What is New?
The setting What is new allows for
directories to be searched for newly deposited files. The time frame
will be defined in the edit field Since … Day(s).
A document will be identified as new by the file date. If files with
older file dates are moved to a directory, they will not be recognized
as New.
Function of the File Link
With these settings in the properties dialog, you will allow
for Direct access to original files in the
network, or make them available for Download. Show client
path will additionally show the defined path to the file
name.
New, a new connection can be set up.
