Online Help for Oracle WebCenter Content: Desktop

Select Content Dialog - Offline Files Panel

The Offline Files panel in the Select Content dialog enables you to select files in the Desktop file cache on your local computer to be opened or viewed in its native application (for example Microsoft Word). Files are stored in your local cache in the following situations:

copies of files that you checked out of the content server,
read-only copies of files on the content server that you specifically marked to be available offline (so that you can access these files even if there is no connection to the server),
modified files managed by a content server that you have not yet checked back in to that server (typically checked-out files that were edited), and
newly created files in Microsoft Office applications that were not checked in successfully (for example, because no server connection could be established).

Note:

The icon of each file in the list may show the content management status of that file.

Element	Description
	Click the Search icon to open the Select Content Dialog - Search Panel.
	Click the Browse icon to open the Select Content Dialog - Browse Panel.
	This is the icon of the current dialog.
Name	This column shows the name of each offline file, listed by content server. You can toggle the sort order of the file names within each server (ascending or descending) by clicking the column header.
Location	This column shows the location of each offline file in the content folder hierarchy, listed by content server. You can toggle the sort order of the locations within each server (ascending or descending) by clicking the column header.
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).
