Description: By assigning entry types, you can see what type of entry you are dealing with at a glance. The icons that are used for this purpose can be customized. Otherwise, ELO will automatically detect the corresponding file extension and assign an entry type to the filed document.

Every document and every folder in ELO is assigned a specific object type. This object type is independent of the keywording form used to file the entry to the repository.

Icons and definitions for documents

When filing documents, the object type is recognized automatically from the file extension. To assign the icons used to the corresponding object types, they must be assigned to file types.

Click the link to Icons and definitions for documents to switch to the Icons and definitions for documents area. You can assign an entry type to almost any kind of document here. The file extension can be used to automatically assign the type when documents are filed. In the File extensions column, the corresponding file extension is assigned to each entry type.

Information: Icons must exist in ICO file format. ICO files contain several different images that the system uses depending on the required resolution and color depth. The individual images must be saved in PNG format. The standard resolution for ELO applications is 16x16 pixels.

Icons and definitions for folders

Folders can be given custom icons, just like documents. Click the link to Icons and definitions for folders to switch to the Icons and definitions for folders area.

Download icon set as ZIP file

Click the link to Download icon set as ZIP file to download the settings and icons for the object types as a ZIP file. The settings are stored in the included file sordTypes.xml. The individual icons are available in ICO format.

Upload edited ZIP file

Click the link to Upload edited ZIP file to upload new settings and icons for the object types as a ZIP file. The modified settings and icons are then available after you edit them.

Information: You can assign an icon to each ELO entry individually. You can apply this setting in the keywording dialog box of your ELO client application. Assign the corresponding object type to the current document or folder by selecting, for example, the Word entry from the Object type drop-down list.
