Using the Web Part

This page provides information about using the toolbar, breadcrumb and file viewer pane. Other functions are contained on different pages as outlined below

• Treeview
• Drag & Drop

Using the toolbar

The toolbar currently supports three functions

1. New Document - use this to create a new document based on the specified template for the document library. When saving this document, the user will be automatically prompted to save the file in the web part's currently selected folder.
2. Upload Document - this button will take the use to the upload page for the document library, where the user can upload a new file to the selected folder.
3. New Folder - allows the user to create a new folder as a child of the current folder.

Using the file viewer

The file viewer will display the files and folders that are contained in the currently selected folder. It will display fields that are specifed in the view that the web part is configured to use. If the view contains sorting and filtering information, this information will be used to retrieve the files.

You can use the file viewer in much the same way you would use a standard list view web part. Different hyperlinks will take you to different information pages based on what information the field contains.

Items can be sorted by a specific column by clicking the hyperlink in the column header. Reverse the sort order by clicking the hyperlink repeated times.

If the view used is configured to use paging (ie files are displayed in batches of a specified size), then a paging control will be visible at the bottom of the file viewer. The paging control will allow both forward and backward movement between pages, and will give the user information about which page they are currently viewing.

Using the bread crumb

The bread crumb control located above the file viewer pane will give you feedback as to where you are in the folder hierarchy. You can move back up the hierarchy by clicking the hyperlinks for each of the parent folders. The current folder is not shown as a hyperlink.

Files can also be moved or copied to parent folders as the folders displayed also act as drop targets.
