Navigator overview
(1) Entity menu
The entity menu allows you to select an entity type for search and creation. The selected entity is highlighted.
(2) Search form
In the search form you can search on the searchable metadata of the entity and it’s related entities, as defined in the Console.
(3) Results table
The results table shows up after search and displays the search results as a table with metadata. Clicking one of the lines in the table will open the document preview.
(4) Create entity button
Clicking the create entity button will bring you to create form where you can fill in the metadata, files and link the relations for this entity.
(5) Document preview
The document preview will display a preview of the line selected in the results table. If there are multiple files attached to that entity, there will be a dropdown selector to choose what file you want to preview.
Info
The previewer can natively show PDF’s and images. For other documents, ContentGrid will attempt to transform the file to PDF. Currently, these formats are supported for previewing:
- jpg, png
- doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx
- odt, ods, odp
Of course, other file formats can still be used in ContentGrid, but they don’t have out-of-the-box previews.
