The Tree pane lists all the folders and files that are part of the specific case you’re working on and allows you to bring them into the canvas. You can sort by any of the columns or create complex sorting criteria. You can also add notes to specific files. You can also do wildcard searches running through all file names, extensions, and file notes.

A

Name column

This column lists the folder and file names. By default, this column is not sorted in alphabetical order, but in the order in which you dragged the files into Data Central. If you click the column title, it will sort in ascending order. Click it again, and it will sort in descending order. If you right-click, you have the option to clear the sorting.

B

Extension column

This column lists the extension for each file or shows that it is a folder. If you click on the filter icon ( image6.png ), you will be presented with a dynamic list of all the extensions and a file count for each file under that extension.

C

Status column

This column shows the status of any processes being run in the background (i.e., video conversion).

D

Type column

This column shows the file type (i.e., audio, video, image)

E

Priority

This column displays the priority setting added by the user (configurable).

This column shows the department or agency the files came from if this case was sent to you.

Added on

This column shows the date these files were added to the case.

This column displays any notes that a user has typed, specifically to the file. To add a note, highlight a file and press Enter.

This field allows you to type in a keyword to search through all file names, extensions, file notes, and more.
