The Folder Browser is one of the primary places for working with documents and
folders in Laserfiche. All documents in the repository are displayed in the Folder
Browser, and therefore it is important to be able to navigate it efficiently.
Navigating the Folder Browser
Documents in Laserfiche are contained within folders, which may in turn be
contained within other folders. The structure of folders is called a folder tree, and it
is contained in a Laserfiche repository. Actions performed on entries in the Folder
Browser—such as moving, copying, renaming, and/or sending to the recycle bin—
can be undone by clicking Undo from the Edit. The recycle bin is similar to the
Windows recycle bin. Users can only see what they deleted and can restore their
deletions back to the original or a new location.
Navigating the Folder Pane
You can move between folders by selecting them in the Folder Pane. To see
subfolders, you can either double-click the folder or click once on the plus sign to
the left of the icon. You can also navigate using the keyboard: use the ENTER key
to expand a folder and see its subfolders, and the UP and DOWN keys to move
between visible folders.
Note: You can also access the last 11 documents viewed by
selecting Recent Documents from the File menu.
Navigating the Contents Pane
When you have selected a folder, the documents and folders within that folder are
visible in the Contents Pane. As in the Folder Pane, you can click on documents or
folders to open them or you can use the keyboard to navigate. In addition to
showing the name of the document or folder, the Contents Pane can display a
number of other pieces of information, such as document type, number of pages,
and field data.
You can reorder the columns and sort documents based on the column
information by clicking on the column. For instance, clicking on the Type column
will sort by document type. By default, the column will be sorted in ascending
order, but clicking it again will change it to sort in descending order.
The Contents Pane can display your documents in a variety of ways, including
Large Icons, Small Icons, List, Details, and Thumbnail views.
Preview Pane
The Preview Pane in the
Laserfiche Client enables you to
preview the pages of a document
to see if it’s the one you want to
open without actually opening it.
You can move between pages,
see annotations, zoom, pan, and
view the document’s text,
thumbnail, and metadata panes.
You can also open sticky notes
and read their text or view the
document’s properties. If you use
the Preview Pane in conjunction
with Search, search keyword
highlights will also be displayed in the preview.
The Preview Pane in Web Access enables you to preview document pages along
with their properties, thumbnails, and metadata. It is located in the left pane under
the Folder Pane and can be collapsed or expanded.
