CMIS Repository - Browse

CMIS Repository Design Tab GrooperReview.Pages.Design

Browse and manage the folder and document hierarchy of a CMIS Repository.

Remarks

The CMIS Repository Browse tab provides a user-friendly interface for exploring, searching, and managing the contents of a connected CMIS Repository. This control is designed for content managers and integrators who need to navigate external repositories, review document metadata, and perform common content management operations directly from Grooper.

Purpose

Use this tab to browse the full hierarchy of folders and documents in a CMIS Repository, view document properties, and perform actions such as copy, cut, paste, delete, and property editing (subject to repository permissions). The interface supports both mouse and keyboard navigation, making it efficient for both casual browsing and power-user workflows.

UI Components

  • CMIS Tree Browser:
    The main panel displays the CMIS Tree Browser, which includes:

    • Title Bar:
      • {up}: Move up to the parent folder.
      • Path input: Shows the current folder path; enter a path to jump directly to a location.
      • {menu}: Opens a drop-down menu with additional commands.
    • Object List:
      • Table of folders and documents in the current folder, with columns for name, type, allowed actions, creator, and dates.
      • Supports multi-select, keyboard navigation, and double-click to open folders.
    • Pager:
      • Navigate between pages of results when the folder contains many items.
    • Context Menu:
      • Right-click to access commands such as copy, cut, paste, delete, new folder, and properties.

  • Document Viewer:
    The right panel displays the currently-selected document using the most appropriate viewer/editor for its type.

    • Supports images, text, PDFs, and more.
    • Provides search, page navigation, and viewer-specific actions.
    • Read-only in this context, optimized for review and inspection.
