a button menu and navigation links.

The New button displays a menu which allows users to create a new folder, upload a file, and upload a folder.
|
|
||||||
|
#### New button
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The New button displays a menu which provides three actions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Create a new folder - provides a dialog which allows the creation of a new folder, the folder name is mandatory and the description is optional.
|
||||||
|
- Upload a file - invokes the operating system file browser and allows a user to select file(s) to upload into their current location in the content repository.

|
- Upload a folder - invokes the operating system folder browser and allows a user to select folder(s) to upload to their current location in the content repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When an upload starts the [upload component](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-ng2-components/tree/master/lib/content-services/upload)
|
||||||
|
is displayed which shows the user the progress of the uploads they have started.
|
||||||
|
The upload dialog persists on the screen and can be minimised; users are able to continue using the application whilst uploads are in progress
|
||||||
|
and uploads can be canceled which will stop uploads in progress or permanently delete already completed uploads.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Navigation

The navigation links are configurable via the [app.config.json](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/blob/master/src/app.config.json).

#### Shared Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Shared Files view aggregates all files that have been shared using the QuickShare feature in the content repository.
|
||||||
|
The [Shared Files component](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/shared-files)
|
||||||
|
uses the [shared-links API](https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#/shared-links)
|
||||||
|
and includes extra columns to display where the file is
|
||||||
|
[located](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/location-link)
|
||||||
|
in the content repository and who created the shared link.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A feature for creating and removing Shared Links will be added in the future.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Recent Files
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Recent Files view shows all the files that have been modified within the last 30 days by the current user.
|
||||||
|
The [Recent Files](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/current-user)
|
||||||
|
component uses the Search API to query SOLR for changes made by the user and includes an extra column to display where the file is
|
||||||
|
[located](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/location-link)
|
||||||
|
in the content repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Favorites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Favorites view shows all files and folders from the content repository that have been marked as a favorite by the current user.
|
||||||
|
The [Favorites](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/favorites) component uses the
|
||||||
|
[favorites](https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#/favorites) API to retrieve all the favorite nodes for the user
|
||||||
|
and includes an extra column to display where the file is
|
||||||
|
[located](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/location-link)
|
||||||
|
in the content repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Trash
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Trash view shows all the items that a user has deleted, admin will see items deleted by all users.
|
||||||
|
The actions available in this view are Restore and Permanently Delete.
|
||||||
|
The [Trashcan](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/trashcan) component uses the
|
||||||
|
[trashcan](https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#/trashcan) API to retrieve the deleted items
|
||||||
|
and perform the actions requested by the user and includes an extra column to display where the file is
|
||||||
|
[located](https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-content-app/tree/master/src/app/components/location-link)
|
||||||
|
in the content repository.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Actions and the Actions Toolbar
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All the views incorporate the [toolbar](https://alfresco.github.io/adf-component-catalog/components/ToolbarComponent.html)
|
||||||
|
component from the Alfresco Application Development Framework;
|
||||||
|
apart from the Trash view they all display the following actions when the current user has the necessary permissions,
|
||||||
|
actions are automatically hidden when the user does not have permission.
