The client has the following work areas: My ELO, Repository, Search, Tasks, Intray, Clipboard, and In use.

The work areas are explained in the following:

My ELO

The My ELO work area is on the start page when you run ELO. From here, you can access the main areas of the ELO repository using tiles.

Feed posts relating to different entries (folders and documents) are displayed in the News tab. This applies to feeds such as those that a user has subscribed to or in which they are mentioned by another user. Escalated or recently started workflows that are relevant for the user are also shown in this work area.

Information: If no posts appear in the My ELO work area, check your filter settings. There may be no posts for the selected period (under New since).

The Recently used documents contains a list of documents that you recently viewed or edited.

Repository

The Repository work area is the central work area of the client where you file and manage your documents and data. For example, you can create new documents and folders, open documents for viewing, or send documents in different formats.

Search

The search results are displayed in the Search work area. A new search view filter is created for every search query, which can be called up any number of times via the button. The search view filters remain in place until the client is closed. Use the Delete view filter function to remove an existing search view filter from the Search work area.

iSearch

ELO iSearch is the standard search tool in the ELO Java Client. ELO iSearch uses special search algorithms that improve the search function.

Keywording search

In addition to ELO iSearch, you can also use the keywording search. The keywording search function searches the index fields in keywording forms. You can find the keywording search on the Search tools/Search tab on the ribbon. The Search tools/Search tab is only available when you are in the Search work area.

Tasks

The Tasks work area contains an overview of your workflows and reminders. The functions of the Tasks tab are used for editing workflows and reminders. This tab contains options for starting new workflows, editing and organizing workflows, setting up substitution rules, and viewing your existing tasks.

You can create additional view filters for the Tasks work area. With the filter function, you can show a part of the tasks in each of the view filters. You can define different view filters so that you are only shown reminders or workflows, for example.

Intray

The Intray is the central work area for incoming documents. You can drag any document onto the Intray work area. Documents are usually filed to the ELO repository via the Intray work area unless they are dragged to the repository.

Before you file documents to the repository from the Intray work area, you need to keyword them. You can automate this process. Alternatively, you can specify the filing location in a dialog box every time you file a document.

In addition, the Intray work area includes scan functions since scanning is an important medium for transferring documents to the repository.

Clipboard

The Clipboard is a work area where you can store documents temporarily or you can use it create a kind of favorites list.

In use

The In use work area shows documents that were checked out or that are in use. Documents are locked for all other users while they are in the In use work area.
