Speaking of Connect – Explore...
The Explore tab is shown when accessing the Connect application or after defining first-access settings.
This tab is a Connect document explorer featuring document management actions.
Available actions are shown on the top of the window. Namely:
• Download: allows downloading documents from the remote repository;
• Checkin: allows performing document checkin, sending all changes made in the local directory to the remote repository;
• Checkout: allows performing document checkoutfrom the remote repository to locally edit them;
• Synchronize: allows synchronizing the local and remote repositories, obtaining new documents from the local repository, deleting documents from the local repository whenever permissions are removed, and downloading recent document versions, among others;
• Reload: allows reloading the local and remote document structures;
• Preferences: allows defining Connect use preferences. Preference options are defined during the application’s first-access setup, but they can be subsequently edited through this option.
Local repository documents (documents obtained from the remote depository via Connect) are displayed to the left of the window.
The platform’s official and remote repository is displayed to the right of the window. This area shows all documents for which the user has minimum permissions (i.e. documents with at least viewing permission).
The explorer’s footer shows details of the currently viewed folder or document, such as:
• description;
• document file type;
• synchronization status; that is, whether the document is updated based on the official repository;
• version;
• author;
• code;
• creation date.
Documents and folders can be moved through the structure by dragging and dropping.
