The contents of the first column will depend on the location and function of the button that called up Repository Viewer. This column shows all the categories of documents that are available to view. In the example above, the list shows just one category, XSL, which is the directory where the current project's XSL files are kept.
Selecting a category will update the right hand column which shows the list of all the documents in the selected category. The red text indicates the currently selected category.
Clicking on any of the displayed documents will close the window, and that selected filename will be passed back to FormMaker to be used and saved as needed.
The functions available for documents within a collection are described below.
Upload - This uploads a file from the local file system which has been selected using the Browse button to the current categroy. The name of the new File will be set by the File Name field.
New - This option creates a new file in this category. The name of the new document will be taken from the File Name field.
Copy - This option copies an existing document within this collection to a new document with a different name. The file to copy should be selected using the radio buttons, and the new document name entered into the File Name field.
Rename - This option renames the selected file. The file to rename should be selected using the radio buttons, and the new name entered into the File Name field.
Edit - Opens the document selected by the radio buttons so that it can be easily viewed and editted within the browser.
Edit in Editor - Opens the document selected by the radio buttons in an external editor (eg XMLSpy) so that it can be edited directly.
Delete - This deletes the document with the selected radio button. This option cannot be undone, so should be used with caution.
By default, the application will try and use Altova's XMLSpy as the external editor for the Edit in Editor command. When a document has been opened in an external editor, it can be saved directly within the editor to update the version stored in the repository.
You will have been given the option of changing the editor to use during install time, but this can still be changed at a later point if needed. For details on this please see this entry on the FAQ.
