You use the Content List widget to display a list of documents that are retrieved from the Content Platform Engine server. Users can use this list to view the documents and their properties, to create document versions, and to download documents.
In the Content List widget, the user can:
  • Double-click documents to open them
  • Right-click in the Content List widget to perform basic operations, such as:
    • Viewing
    • Creating document versions
    • Downloading documents
    • Editing document properties
    • Sharing documents and folders with external users by using the external Share feature in IBM® Content Navigator.
      Note: The external Share feature must be configured in IBM Content Navigator before you can share documents and folders externally. The external Share feature is supported in IBM Business Automation Workflow with an external IBM Content Navigator deployed on WebSphere® Application Server V9.0 and above. The external Share feature is also supported in Content Platform Engine and IBM Content Navigator container deployment environments where the external Share container must be additionally deployed.
  • Browse through the list of documents

You add the Content List widget to a Work page and then wire the widget to the In-basket widget. Or, you can add the widget to a new page along with the Viewer widget, and then edit the settings for the widget and to specify a stored search URL.

You can edit the settings for the Content List widget to:
  • Specify the default view for the list and whether case workers can switch between views
  • Indicate how the widget is to retrieve the list of documents that are to be displayed
  • Configure a pop-up menu for the documents in the Content List widget

You can also choose to display a check box beside each document in the list. The check box feature is disabled by default, but you can enable it in the IBM Content Navigator administration desktop by changing the Content list checkboxes control to the Show state. For more information about enabling the check box feature, see the topic Tips for working in IBM Content Navigator External link opens a new window or tab.
