Description of viewer modes:
Document / Photo view in popup object properties
Additional compact document view window is added as a side panel to object properties popup:
The main purpose of this function is to give an ability to view further details about a given object without changing a global context (whats selected in a grid, tree etc).
For example, while browsing tree structure user selects a floor. Next either a document representing this floor is loaded or a user selects another object from Grid View like space or doors.
This allows user to review a floor layout but what happens if we want to view more details regarding Space or equipment like Doors, Windows? Previously a user would have to change entire context by selecting such object in the tree view.
Now, with the help of extended object properties one can view both metadata of the object and document content like photographs, manuals or other drawings without changing the main context.
These documents can also be viewed in the main interface but this is a useful shorthand.
Accessing side document panel
To open or close a side document panel, use the list icon toggle button on the bottom right corner of the popup properties window.
(Guide: Working with Popup Properties on Drawing)
Side document panel
Content of the side document panel is dependent on both linked documents and a perspective set used to filter out specific data.
Although the primary use case of this panel is to show documents like manuals or object photos, it can be configure to show any class of objects, e.g. equipment in the room.
Available menu options:
- Add new object - document and objects can be added directly in this view
- Edit object - edit metadata of the selected object
- Delete - delete selected object
- View / Navigate - Navigate to selected object in main interface
- Expand / Show - open current document in a popup window for full screen viewing.
A right click expandable menu can be used to view other options like adding new content or attachments.
To save space, visible object columns can be customized in Layout Manager to select only most important fields (Administrator function only).
