There are two display layouts available for the browse page; a thumbnail and list view. You can toggle which layout you use and it wont effect other users, meaning some users that are more visually minded may choose the thumbnail view, while others will use the text based list view.

 

Thumbnails

The thumbnail layout allows users to explore their content using a gallery type display. Each piece of content will display a thumbnail, either generated from its display (in the case of reports and dashboard tabs), from its assigned thumbnail image (in the case of storyboards and discussion streams), or a generic thumbnail icon (in the case of content that hasn't been run yet, or been assigned an image). 

 

List

This list layout allows users to explore their content using a text based display. Each piece of content still has a thumbnail associated with it, but in order to view it the user will have to view content information through the activity stream panel. The list view generally allows users to view more pieces of content on the screen at any one time, making bulk actions easier to perform.

New Folders

When using the Folder List on the Browse Page you will be able to add new folders when needed. Follow these steps to create a new content folder:

  1. Hover over an existing folder and click on the Image Added icon.
  2. Click on the New
  3. The next step is to define if this is a Folder or a Sub Folder. 
    1. Folder: this is used as a container for Sub Folders, and will never directly hold content. Leave the Folder Hierarchy option set to Top Level (which it is by default).
    2. Sub Folder: this is used as a container for content, and as such can have security and other content-related settings applied. Select a Parent Folder to place this Sub Folder into.
      Image Added
  4. Next, you can define your advanced options
    Image Added
    1. Folder: there is only one option available for a Folder.
      1. Sort OrderDefine a specific sort order value if you don’t wish the folder to be sorted alphabetically. 0 will result in standard sorting.
    2. Sub Folder: there are a range of options available for Sub Folders.
      1. Sort Order - Define a specific sort order value if you don’t wish the folder to be sorted alphabetically. 0 will result in standard sorting.
      2. Draft Content Default Folder - Define if this folder will be used to store all draft content until it is saved initially. There can only be one of these folders in a system.
      3. Max Size - Define the amount of storage available for caching content in this folder (in KB).
      4. Max Versions - Define the number of historical result sets that will be accessible, per report.
      5. Max Age - Define how long the historical result sets should be stored before they are deleted.
  5. Finally, if this is a Sub Folder, you can define the User Access settings, otherwise proceed to the last step.
    Image Added
    1. Expert Approval - Define if publishing into this folder requires approval by an expert.
    2. Folder Security: 
      1. Unsecure - This option is used in conjunction with a multicast licence and guest login to provide access to content in this folder without logging in. This behaves like a Public folder for users that are logged in.
      2. Public - All users with functional access to reports, dashboards, and/or storyboards will be able to see the content stored in this folder.
      3. Private - Only the users specified here will be able to see and interact with the content stored in this folder, based on the level of access specified.
  6. Click Submit to create your folder.
