Document Grid

Overview

The document grid is used throughout the Portal. It is how lists of documents are displayed. These lists of documents can come from a variety of sources, such as search results, folders' contents, dataview, etc.

The Grid Toolbar

Note: there are some slight variations in the grid display for ones generated as search results compared to ones accessed via different modules. This page will first describe what is included in all grids, before looking specifically at the grids generated from Search results.

Document Icons

Each row in the grid will display information pertaining to the document. Some of these are standard for all documents. Some fields are customised and/or only relevant to Search results.

FieldDescription
'Preview' enables users to view the relevant document. A green dot indicates the document was recently previewed.
Indicates whether the document is a PDF, email, etc. Note: an exclamation means that no main document is available.
This is visible for search results. It gives a weighted scoring of the relevance of the document to the search criteria.
Some documents may have a vertical paperclip icon. This indicates that this is a main document with attachments.
Some documents may have a horizontal paperclip icon. This indicates that this is an attachment, connected to a main document.
