3.1 Managing Folder Views

NovellĀ® Teaming enables you to change the way you and other users view your folder. You can change the default view, or allow multiple views.

3.1.1 Changing the Default Folder View

Teaming enables you to change the default view of folders for which you have appropriate rights.

Enabling Views to Be Used as the Default View

Before you can set a view as the default folder view, you need to enable that view.

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to change the default view.

  2. In the Folder toolbar, click Manage > Configure.

    The Configure Default Settings page is launched.

  3. In the Allowed Views section, select the view whose look best presents your folder list or workspace.

  4. Click Apply.

    The folder view has now been added to the Default View section, and can be chosen as the default view, as described in Selecting a New Default Folder View.

Selecting a New Default Folder View

  1. In the Configure Default Settings page, in the Default View section, select the folder view that you enabled in Enabling Views to Be Used as the Default View.

  2. Click Apply > Close.

3.1.2 Enabling Alternate Folder Views

Because only folder owners have rights to set the default view of a folder, Teaming enables folder owners to select alternate views that external users of the folder are allowed to use, if they are not satisfied with the default view, or feel more comfortable using another view. For example, you can configure your Calendar folder to allow users to view the folder in the Task folder view, if they so desire.

  1. Navigate to the folder where you want to enable alternate views.

  2. In the Folder toolbar, click Manage > Configure.

    The Configure Default Settings page is displayed.

  3. In the Allowed Views section, select all of the views that you want to enable as alternate folder views.

  4. Click Apply > Close.

To view the folder in an alternate view:

  1. In the Folder Options section in the main sidebar, click Folder View, then select the desired alternate view.
