The Catalog Browser

The Catalog Browser within the Folders frame displays documents as they appear on the file system. Access the Folders frame by selecting the button from the main menu. Select the icon in the left frame to display the browser tree.

Files within the selected folder will appear in the results grid, and document actions may be performed on one or more selected documents. Navigate the browser tree by selecting the expand (+) and collapse (-) icons. If your administrator has enabled paging, you may see an additional row indicating the current page number of subfolders along with Prev and Next controls to navigate through the subfolder list. You can also enter a number in the empty textbox to advance to a specific page of subfolders.
