Each entry in ELO (folder or document) consists of multiple elements, such as contents, metadata, and the feed.

You can customize your viewer pane with the elements you need:

• Combine preview elements
• Show entries

Combine preview elements

The contents and metadata are shown on the left, while the feed is always located on the right. You can switch between Contents and the Metadata/Form using the tabs.

For more information, refer to the chapter 'Repository' work area.

Show entries

On the Contents tab, you will see the contents of an entry (folder or document)

You can change how entries are shown on the View tab.

Folders

Folders are shown in list view by default. You can switch to the table view by clicking the Table function. The table view shows select metadata for the individual documents.

If you do not need some of the metadata, click the arrow icon next to the column header. Clicking Columns opens the selection dialog box, where you can uncheck the respective boxes. You can add columns in the same dialog box.

By clicking the arrow icons, you can group documents based on their metadata. If you uncheck the Show in groups box, the table is once again shown without grouping.

Documents

• Image preview: When you click Image preview, the selected document appears as an image preview. Preview documents are documents in TIFF or PDF format. This button is only enabled if a preview image is available for the document. An image preview is available for all PDF and TIFF documents. For other formats, you will have to create one, for example using the Create document preview function in the ELO Java Client. Use this function to display documents even if there is no viewer available for the original format.
• Full text: When you click Full text, the selected document appears in full text. This display lends itself to searches. A search field allowing you to search the text appears below it. This display is also used if you do not have a viewer for the original format and no image preview is available.
