List of entries

The body of a folder page, search result page, etc. consists of a list of entries, each representing an object contained in the folder, search folder etc. A folder page is by default displayed in the details view where an object entry normally consists of the following elements:

Information icon

Check box for selecting the object

Object type icon

Name of the object

Action menu button action giving access to actions that may be performed on the object represented by the entry. Putting the cursor over the action menu icon displays often-used actions (Change Properties, Cut, Copy, Delete) as a horizontal iconized action menu.

Size of an entry is indicated in bytes, in case of a folder in number of objects contained.

This may be followed by icons leading to additional information, e.g., in a folder page a members’ icon members will take you to the members’ page of this folder.

Note, that you can actually configure the information displayed along with an entry via  View    Column in the top menu.

Besides the details view described above, there is also a content view available. An object entry in the content view has the following elements:

Check box for selecting the object

Object icon: With documents, the object icon is a miniaturized preview, with contacts and users it is a picture, if available, and otherwise it is the object type icon.

Info-box consisting of a header line with name, action menu, and if applicable, members icon, rating etc. and a domain with further details like size, document type, creator, creation date.

Abstract of the object content (with folders, e.g., the names of the objects contained)

Description

Author and date of the last modification

You activate the content view by selecting  View    Content  in the top menu (see 3.8.4 Views on folders).

Please note that entries in portal and calendar pages look and work a bit differently than described here for folder entries.
