Document Arrangement

The Document Arrangement options let you control which items and documents are displayed when looking for a document using Arrange by (see Finding a Document in a Specific Status for details on using Arrange by).

Item Display

When looking for a document using Arrange by, users can choose to list documents by one of many document properties, such as what department or category the document is assigned to.

Selecting a property displays a list of all the items, or options, that can be assigned for that property. In the example below, Document Owner is the selected property, and the names of all document owners are the items in the Document Owner list.

By default, all of the items under the selected property appear in the Arrange by list, whether they have documents assigned to them or not. If you want only those items to be displayed that have documents assigned to them, click Only display items assigned to documents.

Document Display

With the following settings, you can change how documents are displayed.

Document Count

By default the number of documents assigned to each item in an Arrange by list is displayed, as shown below.

To disable this feature, click to clear the Display document count next to items check box.

Document Filters

By default, users can see documents in all departments, as long as they have been assigned to those documents in some way, such as being assigned as a reader. If you want to restrict all users to viewing only the documents in their assigned departments, select the Filter users' document lists by their assigned department(s) check box.

By default, users also see documents in all languages. To limit the display of documents to only those in the user's preferred language, select the Filter the user's document list by their assigned language check box..

Important: This setting applies to all users, except those assigned the Document Control Administrator or View Docs All Departments permission (see Assigning System Permissions for details on assigning permissions to users).
