File Browser Layout

Description

File Browser is a layout view option. It can be used to quickly browse through items in the repository and to view their details. It displays detailed information of the item such as the properties, options for the checked-in files, track checkin history, view/edit tasks, pipelines and to view/add notes to the items.

Options

The File Browser can be selected as the default layout for your sType when you create a new sType. You can also view sTypes with different default layout by selecting the File Browser layout from the layout dropdown in the sType view tab.

Usage

Users can browse through the items under the sType. When a specific folder is selected, the contents of that folder can be viewed in the mini-side bar panel on the left hand side. A view tab showing all the items in that folder appears in the panel on the right hand side. This view tab is similar in functionality to the view tab that opens using view column for sTypes under Project Configuration.

If a file is selected, the three tabs on the right hand side will be updated with details that correspond to the file.

The first tab, File Info, contains the properties of the selected file in tabular form.

The second tab, Notes, displays the notes on the file made by other users and allow you to add your own notes.

The third tab, Full Item Detail, has 4 other tabs under it: Check-in history, Tasks, Checkin, Edit and Pipeline.
