Batch - Viewer

View the contents and structure of a Batch, including its folders, documents, and pages.

Remarks

The Batch Viewer tab provides a hierarchical, interactive interface for exploring the contents of a selected Batch. This control is designed for efficient navigation, inspection, and review of batch structure and documents, supporting both high-level overviews and detailed document viewing.

Purpose

Use this tab to browse the full hierarchy of folders, documents, and pages within a batch. Select any node to view its associated document, and quickly open the batch in the Review Page for further inspection or manual review.

UI Components

• Toolbar:
  Located at the top of the left panel, the toolbar displays the title "BATCH CONTENTS" and provides the {review} button:

  • {review}: Open the batch in the Review Page. This button is enabled only when the batch is paused or not actively processing.
    • Click to open in a new tab or window.
    • Shift + click to open in the current window.

• Tree Viewer:
  The main navigation panel presents the batch root and all descendants (folders, documents, and pages) in a hierarchical tree.

  • Supports multi-selection, node expansion/collapse, and keyboard navigation.
  • Selecting a node updates the document viewer to display the associated document or page.
  • Right-click to access context menu commands for batch objects (if available).

• Document Viewer:
  The right panel displays the document or page associated with the currently selected node in the tree.

  • Automatically selects the best viewer/editor for the document type (image, text, PDF, etc.).
  • Supports page navigation, search, and viewer-specific actions.
  • Read-only in this context, optimized for review and inspection.

• Splitter Controls:
  The layout uses a vertical splitter, allowing you to resize the navigation and document panels for optimal viewing.
