Online Help for Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop

Select Content Dialog - Browse Panel

The Browse panel in the Select Content dialog enables you to navigate to files on a content server and select them for further use: to be opened or viewed in a Microsoft Office application, inserted into a Microsoft Office document, attached to an email message, or compared to the current Word document (depending on where you opened this dialog).

Note:

You may not be able to do all these actions for files on every content server, depending on the server type. For example, you cannot compare file revisions on an Oracle Content Database server.

Element	Description
	Click the Search icon to open the Select Content Dialog - Search Panel.
	This is the icon of the current dialog.
	Click the Offline Files icon to open the Select Content Dialog - Offline Files Panel. This option may not be available, depending on the context in which you are selecting a file.
Look in	Click the server or folder that contains the file you want to select for further use. If you click on a server, you may be prompted to provide your login name and password (depending on the server configuration).
	Click this icon to move up one level in the integration hierarchy.
	Click this icon to select the view mode of the content area: Large Icons: This view mode displays your files and folders as large application icons with their names shown below the icons. Small Icons: This view mode displays your files and folders as small application icons with their names shown next to the icons. List: This view mode displays your files and folders as a list of file or folder names preceded by small application icons. Details: This view mode displays your files and folders as in list mode, but with additional information such as file type, size, author, security group, timestamp, and the like (if available and relevant).
Content area	This area shows the contents of the selected server, library, or folder in the integration hierarchy. You can work with the items in much the same way as in standard Open dialogs in Windows applications (including right-click menus and the like). If you want, you can show or hide the preview pane in the content area: right-click, then choose View, and then Preview Pane.
File name	This box shows the name of a selected file. You can also manually enter a file name.
Files of type	If you want the content area to display only files of specific file types (that is, with particular file extensions; for example, only Microsoft Office files), then you can use this menu to select the file type mask.
Edit / View	These options are available only when you are opening a file in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint using the WebCenter Content menu or ribbon. They allow you to select whether you want to open the file for editing or viewing in the current Microsoft Office application. If you select a file for editing, it is opened in the current Microsoft Office application and checked out of the content server. You can make changes as required. When you are done and you close the document or application, you are given the opportunity to check the file back in to the content server as a new revision of the original file. If you select a file for viewing, it is opened in the current Microsoft Office application as a copy of the original file, which is not checked out of the content server. You can make changes as required, but when you are done and you close the document or application, you need to save it as a new file, either locally (using the application's built-in save-as feature) or on the content server (using the Save As New... option on the WebCenter Content menu or ribbon).
