The side menu offers two different tabs. Clicking on elements on the left will open a side panel (also called Drawer) with the content of the tab selected: browsing options are on the first left column, content to browse on the second and content to view on the main area. This new pattern allows to start browsing without changing the context of work. The side menu displays all the domain structure from the root. It enables you to easily access any space in the application structure.

Browsing Lists of Documents

Users can change the way content is presented in the folderish repositories (workspaces, folders, sections) and search results. They can also change the displayed information.

Changing View Mode

Two views of the content lists are available on the top right corner of your workspace.

Table View (default view): This view displays the title of the documents with a small icon (that depends on the type of document or main attachment type) and a set of metadata in a table.
Grid View : This view displays a thumbnail of documents. For folders, the thumbnail of the first item in the folder is displayed.

Changing Displayed Information

Lists of documents, whether in grid view or thumbnail view, show some information about the documents, like their title, the last contributor, their type, their lifecycle state, etc. Users can change the information displayed, i.e. the columns for the list view or the information below the document thumbnail in thumbnail view.

To change the information displayed in content views, click on the icon . A pop-up is displayed, select the information that you want to be displayed among the list.
