Overview
Document lists display information about each document for a functional area record. The document list provides document thumbnails, document categorization and status, access to a document preview, and access to the document detail page (from which the full document may viewed and be edited).
Document Thumbnails
The document list display a preview thumbnail image for each file. Depending on the type of file and state of the document, the thumbnail represents the document or a default image.
When do document thumbnails get displayed?
Document thumbnails are displayed if the following are true:
The document is "PDF-able", meaning the document file is the type of document that can be converted to a standard Adobe PDF format.
The document has a status of Final. To prevent new PDF documents from being generated each time a document is edited and saved (for example, if the user is editing a large document and saving frequently), documents are not converted to PDF format until they are in Final status. If the document is not Final, a generic thumbnail image is displayed.
The document is not confidential. Confidential documents have restricted access. If the document is confidential, a generic thumbnail image is displayed.
When a user clicks on a document row, it opens the Document Detail page allowing the user to view and edit the document (based on permissions).
Preview Gallery
When a user clicks the document thumbnail, it opens a "Preview Gallery". The Preview Gallery displays the first page of the document or the document image and information about the document in the right side preview panel. The user can browse through each document in the list using the forward (>) or backward (<) navigation arrows on the screen.
In addition, the user can navigate to the Document Detail page, download the original document, download the document as a PDF file, or choose to delete the document (based on permissions).
Document Download
Document download is available for individual documents using the Actions menu (represented by this icon: ) on the list item. The user may download either the original document in its native format, or the PDF version. The Download (as PDF) option is only available if the PDF has been generated.
