Getting Started

Browser — Global

  The Global tab of the Browser lists all object types.
 

List of object types

Each object type is represented by a folder (container). When a new object (e.g. PRJ-1000-0-Pen) is created it is displayed as a subfolder in the respective folder after refreshing the tab with the Refresh button.

 

Drag & Drop onto an Object

The structure of the object entries can be modified by dragging and dropping of other objects. It is possible to drag & drop

  1. an object from the object mask onto a subfolder in the browser
  2. a subfolder onto a subfolder
  3. directly onto the subfolder of the relationship.

Some drag & drop operations are not valid (e.g. project onto a document). An error message will be displayed in the message window (e.g. "This action is not supported!", "unknown action EDB-ARTICLE > DTV BROWSER DRAG > DROP").

Possible drag and drop actions can be configured in the Browser Functions mask.
Document Management Module > Define Browser Functions

A single-click on a file in the Global tab of the browser checks out this file.
