Default Dynamic Folder Views


Dynamic Views adds one, or several, dynamic folder views (nodes) to the tree structure in DM Extension for Windows Explorer, the Quick Retrieve dialog box, and DM Extension for Microsoft Outlook. Depending on the settings specified by your eDOCS DM administrator, the following views may appear:
My Subscriptions My Recent Shows the values of the items you have subscribed to. Shows the values of the subscription levels that you have edited documents in during the last 30 days. (30 days is the default, which may have been changed by your eDOCS DM administrator). Shows all subscription values available in the Dynamic View.

All Values

Important: The node names are modifiable and might appear different than listed above; they also may have changed with the implementation of eDOCS DM 5.2 in your environment. Check with your eDOCS DM administrator for more information.

In eDOCS DM 5.2, it is possible to configure more than one dynamic view, and each individual dynamic view can support each of the nodes listed above. So that you can differentiate between the dynamic views, your system administrator may have chosen to show the top nodes view name. For example, in a legal environment, a dynamic view might be named Legal View. The All, Recent, and Subscriptions nodes appear within this main dynamic view node. You may also have an additional dynamic view based on your department (for example, "Billing Dept. View") in which the All, Recent, and Subscriptions nodes also appear.

Document Title

Managing Your Subscriptions to View Levels


One of the available nodes in a dynamic view is the Subscriptions node. You can manage which values appear in this node by subscribing and unsubscribing to specific values and view levels. For example, if you have a legal environment, and Client and Matter are defined as subscription levels, you can manage the specific Clients or Matters that appear in your tree view.

Important: The Subscriptions node name is customizable, so your eDOCS DM administrator may have changed the name to My Subscriptions or My Client/Matters. Check with your eDOCS DM administrator for clarification.

Adding Subscription Values


You can subscribe to any value (that you have access rights to) in the hierarchical levels of the dynamic view. Keep the following in mind when subscribing to values: When you subscribe to a subscription level that has sublevels (not enumerations), all of the sublevels beneath the subscribed level are added. For example, if you subscribe to the Client level in a Client-Matter hierarchy, all Matters that belong to the subscribed Client appear. When you subscribe to any level that is not the top level in the hierarchy, the subscribed values parent hierarchy is added. For example, if you subscribe to a Matter, the associated Client appears as well.

TIP: The items that you subscribe to are indicated with an asterisk (*), which appears before the subscribed items name. For example, if you subscribe to Matter 1, it appears as *Matter 1 in the tree view.

eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5
In eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5, there are two methods that you can use to subscribe to a level, which are as follows: From the tree view in DM Extensions or from a Quick Retrieve dialog box. 1. From the tree view, right-click the node that you want to subscribe to and click Subscribe. The DM - Dynamic Profile dialog box appears confirming the subscription was successful.

Managing Enumerations
Your eDOCS DM administrator may have configured none, one, or two enumeration levels in Dynamic Views. Enumerations allow you to further filter your search results based on the enumeration's criteria. For example, if you are subscribed to the view level Matters, but you only want to see items that have a document type of DEFAULT for a specific Matter, when you select the DEFAULT document type in the tree view, you only see those items matching the DEFAULT document type for the specific Matter. You can manage which enumeration values appear in your tree view. You can remove values from the tree view when you do not need them, and add them back when you do.

Unsubscribing from Enumeration Values


By default, all enumeration values appear in the tree view under your subscribed values; however, you may be able to unsubscribe from specific enumeration values if you do not want them to appear in your tree view.

eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5
In eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5, you can unsubscribe from an enumeration value using one of the following methods: From the tree view in DM Extensions or from a Quick Retrieve dialog box. 1. Right-click the enumeration value you want to remove. 2. Click Unsubscribe. This removes the value throughout the virtual folder structure. From the Dynamic Profile. 1. On the Legal Profile Form dialog box, click the Matter Centric Profile tab. 2. Right-click the view level in the tree view and click Unsubscribe. The item is removed from the Subscriptions node.

eDOCS DM 5.2
In eDOCS DM 5.2, you cannot unsubscribe from an enumeration value. Instead, you can hide the value. Refer to the Hiding Enumeration Values section in this document for instructions.

Profiling Documents Using Drag-and-Drop Functionality


In both eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5 and eDOCS DM 5.2, the Drag-and-Drop feature supports two drag-and-drop operations, if enabled by your eDOCS DM administrator: You can import documents or email messages to eDOCS DM by dragging an item to a folder or node in the tree structure. You can edit fields on the Document Profile form by dragging eDOCS DM documents to different locations in the tree structure. When you drag documents or email messages to the tree structure, the fields on the Document Profile form change according to the location where the item is dragged.

How the Document Profile Form Is Populated


How much metadata is completed on the Document Profile form, and if further profiling is necessary, depends on where you drag the document to and if the Default Drop Suffix setting has been configured by your eDOCS DM administrator. If the Default Drop Suffix setting has not been defined, when you drag a document to:

Open Text eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5 and 5.2 Dynamic Views User Functionality Comparison Title
An enumeration level: No further profiling is required. All Document Profile form fields are automatically populated using the values from higher subscription levels in the tree structure. For example, if you drag a document to a specific Document Type, the Client and Matter fields on the Document Profile dialog box are automatically populated with the associated Client and Matter in the tree structure. The Document Profile dialog box appears so that you can populate any additional fields, such as enumeration values. All other Document Profile form fields are automatically populated using the higher subscription levels in the tree structure. For example, if you drag a document to a specific Client, the Matter field on the Document Profile dialog box is automatically populated with the associated Matter in the tree structure. The Document Profile dialog box appears to allow you to complete the lower level fields. For example, if you drag a document to a specific Client, and you have subscribed to multiple Matters, the Document Profile dialog box appears to allow you to complete the Matter field and any additional fields, such as enumeration values. No further profiling is required. Because ad hoc folders are normal DM folders that appear in the virtual folder structure, drag-anddrop operations use standard eDOCS DM functionality. All of the metadata and security settings for the document are inherited from the ad hoc folder.

If the Drop Default Suffix setting has been configured by your eDOCS DM administrator, when you drop a document to a higher level in the dynamic view, the lower level value is populated with the level value defined in the Drop Default Suffix setting. For example, if DEFAULT has been set as the Drop Default Suffix setting for the Matter level, when you drag a document to the Client level (or any higher level), the Matter field on the Document Profile dialog box is automatically populated with DEFAULT.

Creating Ad Hoc Folders


The use of ad hoc folders gives you the option to create your own folders in the dynamic view structure. Ad hoc folders use the DM folder structure become part of the dynamic view structure and have a Profile with metadata, just like any other document or folder in DM. The metadata is used to determine where the folder should appear in the dynamic view structure. An ad hoc folder created in a dynamic view can be placed on any level of the dynamic view structure (depending on settings enabled by your eDOCS DM administrator).

NOTE: This feature is enabled by your eDOCS DM administrator and may not be available on your system. In addition, ad hoc folders may not be enabled on all levels.

eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5
In eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5, you can create an ad hoc folder from the Dynamic Profile, or from the dynamic view tree structure in either DM Extensions or a Quick Retrieve dialog box. Complete the following steps to create an ad hoc folder: 1. Right-click the item under which you want to add the folder and click New folder here. The Create folder dialog box appears. 2. Enter a name for the folder. This text is used as the document name as well as the display name for the folder. The other fields on the folders Document Profile dialog box are populated according to its location in the virtual folder structure. 3. If you created the folder on any level other than the lowest enumeration level (such as Document Type), the same rules used for drag-and-drop functionality apply. If no drag-and-drop rules are activated, the document type Folder is used, if available. If Dynamic Views is unable to populate all necessary fields on the Document Profile dialog box, the Document Profile dialog box for the folder appears for you to complete. 4. Security for the ad hoc folder is applied according to your profile defaults. To change security for the folder, right-click the folder and click Profile from the DM Document menu. A window appears informing you that the folder was created successfully. 5.

Searching from Within a Node


Depending on your setup, levels of the dynamic folder structure may contain various search objects. Search objects give you a way to return a list of documenters based on the criteria related to the value of the item under which the search object is selected. By clicking different search objects on different levels, you can easily perform searches without having to use the search forms in eDOCS DM.

Configuring Available Search Objects


eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5
In eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5, you can select the search objects that you want to appear for each node from a list of search objects that your eDOCS DM administrator has enabled. To configure the available search objects, complete the following steps: 1. Right-click the node, and point to Settings. 2. Click Edit available search objects.

eDOCS DM 5.2
In Dynamic Views for eDOCS DM 5.2, because additional configuration options are available to your eDOCS DM administrator, the Edit available search objects option is not available. Search objects relevant to your environment appear by default.

Using Search Objects


Default search items exist in both eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5 and eDOCS DM 5.2; however, the naming scheme is different. The following table lists the default search objects in each version of eDOCS DM.
eDOCS DM 5.1.0.5 <My Recent Documents> <My Recent Emails> <My Documents> <My Documents and Emails> eDOCS DM 5.2 RECENT_DOCUMENTS RECENT_EMAILS MY_DOCUMENTS MY_DOCUMENTS_AND_EMAILS
