Doc Navigator


The Doc Navigator is designed to easily pull any number of documents from the database. The Navigator panel is set up to have a list of views on the left and the list of documents on the right. You may use one of the predefined views listed below, or create one of your own. To learn how to create a unique view for yourself, click here.

Since the amount of documents listed may be anywhere between 1 and 1,000,000 documents, the list received from the database is broken into chunks of data so that it is easier to scroll through ( Scrolling through 100 is a lot easier than 1,000,000 ). To navigate backwards and forwards through the 'chunks' of documents, use the 'Prev' and 'Next' buttons that are located at the bottom right of the document list.
