yuuvis® Momentum client as reference implementation is an Angular application that is structured in comprising multiple components. Each of them these components implements a specific area of the client application using the functionality provided by the components of the developer libraries.

In the header area, you will find the yuuvis® Momentum bar with icons for the most frequently used features.

Dashboard

In the middle of the dashboard, you will find the multi-part search input field.

In the footer area, the objects that you recently created or edited are displayed in the form of a tile row. Click the Recently created or Recently edited buttons below the tile row to select which objects you want to view. If you click the More... button to the right of the objects listed in the footer area, the listed objects are displayed in a hit list.

Navigation by Keyboard

In additionTo make all functions and actions in yuuvis® Momentum client as reference application easily accessible, most of the commands can be activated (even called without using a mouse click) at any point of the user interface via the command palette interface by hitting Ctrl twice (Quick Access). If a string is entered there, all commands containing this string are filtered.
Example: An input of "si" lists among others both Create: Sick note, and Create: Document (classified).

With ?<search string> a full-text search of matching DMS objects is requested.

Menus

Main Menu

You can access the main menu using the. To navigate through the application by keyboard, open the Quick access command palette at any time by pressing the Ctrl key twice. Then, start typing a string to find the command you are looking for.

Examples:

• 'navigate' shows a list of all application views. Select an item from the list to open the respective view.
• 'create' shows a list of possible create commands. One for each object type. Select an item from the list to create an object of the respective type. To find a specific create command, enter the name of the object type into the search field (e.g., "si" results in Create: Sick note, Create: Document (classified), etc.).
• A full-text search of all DMS objects can be requested with ?<key word>

Menus

Main Menu

You can access the main menu using the Main menu icon on the yuuvis® Momentum bar. You can access the following areas via the main menu:

...

The suggested actions and processes always refer to the selected object(s). If you select several objects in an object list (such as in a hit list) and then click the Object actions icon in the area window of the object list area, you can apply an action or a process to several objects.

...

	Add as new version Adds a document file to the marked selected object in a hit list or in a folder view. Adding a document file automatically creates a new document version.
	Copy to clipboard Copies links from one or more selected objects to your operating system's clipboard.
	Delete Deletes the selected object. Deleted items cannot be restored.
	Download document file Downloads the document file of one or more selected objects to the local file system in the original format.
	Manage follow-up Creates follow-ups for a selected object or opens the dialog for modifying, deleting or confirming follow-ups.
	Move Exchange Changes the parent folder of a documentan object. It is also possible to unassign remove the current parent folder such so that the document object will not no longer have any parent objects anymore.
	Open in the folder/Open Opens the selected object’s parent folder view. The object view will be opened for document files without a parent folder.
	Show references Displays an overview of the objects that reference the selected object.
	Show versions Opens an overview of all versions of the selected object. You can select two versions in the version list to compare them side by side. The action is not offered if the selected object only has one version (see Object Versions). Set as current version This action is available when a Version View view is displayed.

In an additional section MORE ACTIONS, plug-in actions can be available if configured by an administrator.

Summary

...

Aspect Area

Displays the object properties (basic metadata, type metadata and tags) of an object, such as name, editor, number of versions, file size, etc. The information is divided into the areas Basic metadata, Type metadata, and Administrative Advanced information.

If more than one version of a document exists, you can also click the highlighted version number to access the version view.

Metadata

...

Aspect Area

The Metadata aspect area offers the option of editing the type metadata of the selected object, provided that you have the appropriate rights.

History

...

Aspect Area

The History aspect area provides a view of the creation process as well as the editing and usage history of an object. It contains a chronological list of who , for example, made which changes to the content or type metadata of an object and when. The output (download and read) of an object is also logged in the this aspect area. You can filter the events of the editing history, if needed. The entries in the history also contain links to the versions of the document. You can open the version view by clicking one of these links.

...

• limiting the date to a time period using the operators (>, <, =, -), or
• specifying a type of action via by ticking the corresponding checkboxes. Clicking a group name will select all history entries of this group.

If a user should additionally get displayed For users to be able to see READ events in the history view if the object history, i.e., whether an object was just only viewed (READ), the role , they must be assigned the YUUVIS_MANAGE_SETTINGS must be assigned to this userrole.

Content

...

Aspect Area

The Content aspect area offers a content preview of the selected documentobject. Different content previews are used depending on the file type of a document file. If no file-specific preview is used, the document rendered to a PDF by yuuvis® Momentum is displayed in the PDF content preview by default. If a PDF cannot be rendered, nothing is displayed in the content preview.

...

There are a number of ways to open the version view:

• Via the Object object actions menu, if the selected document has more than one version

• In the object area via the link on the version number in the Summary aspect area.

• Via the links on the version numbers in the History aspect area.

The version view shows a list of all versions. Select a version to display its version-specific object information in Object the object aspect areas area as described above. If two versions are selected in the list, you can compare them in the tabs Changes to metadata and Changes to content where you have a number of actions available for a visual comparison.

The slider in the center helps you find the differences. If you move your mouse over the slider, a drop-down dropdown menu will offer you more comparison options.

	Drag the slider left and right to resize the images.
	Displays both images instantly.
	Layers both images on top of each other so that you can use the sliders to display one image and then the other.
	Only displayed when both images are superimposed. Clicking the icon reverts the view back to normal.

An older version can be set as the current version. To do this, select the desired version with a single mouse click and set it as the current version in the object action menu with Image RemovedSet as current version. Refresh the version status afterwardsand select Image AddedSet as current version from the object actions menu. The version view is automatically refreshed by this action.

Creating Objects

You require the YUUVIS_CREATE_OBJECT role to be able to create objects.

You can create objects (folders and documents) in stages. This procedure is especially useful if you create a lot of objects in a short space period of time that you do not want to complete until later.

>> ObjectCreateComponent

Creating Documents

The following options are available for you to create documents:

...

If you want to create a document, the first thing you have to decide is if you want to define a folder as parent object. For this purpose, you first need to display the folder object you want to specify as parent for your new document. Once you have opened the right folder, you can create one or more documents as child objects in the folder via the yuuvis® Momentum bar or by dragging drag and droppingdrop.

The new document will not have a parent object

• if you did not open a folder before creation, for example, if you are on the dashboard, in hit lists, in a document's object view, or
• if you created it via the Main menu.

...

You can find out which document object types are available for you in the object creation dialog. One of the basic properties of the all document types is that they may or may not contain a binary content file.

...

• Simple object types
  • Simple object types are the fastest way to create documents.
  • The object type is assigned when the object type is selected.
  • The main difference between the to other object types is that you do not get a preview of the uploaded file during the creation process.
• Variable object type with fixed object type assignment
  • This object type offers you a preview of the uploaded file during the creation process.
  • This gives you the chance to check which file and double-check that the object type you have selected againmatches your file.
• Variable object type with subsequent object type assignment
  • For this object type, you can assign the object type after the creation process.
  • In the first step of the creation process, only a small amount of general type metadata is entered and the document is created.
  • You can assign the final object type at a later point, depending on the configuration of the variable object type.

Artificial intelligence can be used to create documents with variable object types regardless of how your yuuvis® Momentum system and individual object types are configured. This will appear in The AI helps you to automatically classify your documents by showing you a suggestion list during object type assignment. The AI used gives the suggested object types This list contains a weighting based on machine learning.
>> Artificial Intelligence Platform

Upload Status

If you upload files, this is indicated by the  Upload status icon you can check their upload status in the yuuvis® Momentum bar. Click the Upload status icon to view the names and status statuses of the files uploaded in a menu. A green tick behind an entry indicates that the upload process was successful. Click the Remove icon to remove entries from the list to get a better overview. The  Upload status icon will no longer be displayed once all of the entries have been removed from the list.

...

There are several ways to cancel the creation process:

• Click Cancel during the creation process. In the form that opens you can:

  • delete the object (Remove object button button). The incomplete object is permanently deleted. The files uploaded and/or type metadata entered up to that point will be lost.

  • place the file in the in-tray (Store File in in-tray button button). The incomplete object, including all type metadata entered and/or all files uploaded up to this point, is placed in the in-tray. You can continue and complete the creation process at a later time.

• Click the yuuvis® logo in the yuuvis® Momentum barthe yuuvis® logo in the yuuvis® Momentum bar, which is part of the main menu, or an entry in the settings Settings menu during the creation process. Click Click OK on in the form that opens to permanently delete the incomplete object. The files uploaded and/or type metadata entered up to that point will be lost.

Filing E-mails and Attachments

There are many ways and options available to file e-mails and e-mail attachments. You can file e-mails together with their attachments or file the e-mails and attachments separately. You can upload e-mails from the local file system or drag and drop them.

You will need to keep a few things in mind when filing e-mails directly from an e-mail program via drag and drop. Whether or not it is possible to drag - and - drop filing of e-mails from an e-mail program directly into the client is possible depends on the e-mail program and the browser you are using. For example, the drag-and-drop filing of e-mails from Microsoft Outlook is supported if the client is running in a Google Chrome browser. In this case, the e-mail is filed in yuuvis® Momentum in the same file format (*.msg) in which it is transferred from Microsoft Outlook. Filing an e-mail in the MSG file format has one distinct disadvantage in that the content preview will differ slightly from the filed e-mail.

If you are working with a different browser, say Firefox for example, and would like to file e-mails via drag and drop, then it is best to use the Outlook Add-In for Drag & Drop from OPTIMAL SYSTEMS. It enables drag-and-drop filing, ensuring that e-mails that are dropped onto the client are transferred as EML files so that the content preview generates a more accurate view of the filed e-mail. If you are interested in this add-in, please contact your partner at OPTIMAL SYSTEMS.

...

Folders can be created via the yuuvis® Momentum bar as well as via the Main menu. You cannot create a folder inside another folder in a folder.

You cannot change a folder’s type after it has been created. If you want to change the folder type again during creation, you can return to the object type selection by clicking in the breadcrumb trail in the header area of the form.

...

You require the YUUVIS_CREATE_OBJECT role to be able to edit objects.

In-

...

tray – Assigning Final Object Types

Variable object types are the starting point for this. For these object types, you You can assign incomplete objects to the this object type after the creation process. In the first step of the creation process, only a small amount of general type metadata is captured entered and the object is created. You can assign the final object type at a later point, depending on the configuration of the variable object type.

...

• Assign object type button: You can assign a final object type to the object.

• Extend button button: You can extend and reduce the type metadata of the object.

If the Assign object type button is displayed in the Metadata aspect area, then you can assign an object type to the object. You can only assign an object type to an object once and this cannot be changed. After you have assigned an object type to an incomplete object, the Assign object type button will no longer be displayed and the object will be removed from the list of incomplete objects.

...

You can replace binary content files assigned to document objects with a new file, for example if a copy of the file was modified outside of yuuvis® Momentum and you would like to overwrite the file in yuuvis® Momentum with the new version. To do this, you have to upload the new file from the operating your local file system to yuuvis® Momentum and add it to the document object as a new version.

...

• Use the Add as new version function in the Object object actions menmenu.

• Drag and drop.

If you want to add the binary content file of another object, then you will need to first download this file to your local file system using the object actions menu before you can add it to another object as a binary content file again.

Editing Metadata

Entries for type metadata are made and maintained via fields in metadata forms. You can enter type metadata both during and after object creation in the Metadata aspect area. Variable For variable object types also have the property that , you can also extend or reduce the metadata forms at any time. When an object is created, the object type is determined and the metadata form is filled out.

...

For folders, you can also show display the Metadata aspect area in hit lists if you have selected the corresponding folder. In the folder view, you must click the folder name in the header of the structure area to display the Metadata aspect area.

...

...

• Sort by column: If you click the header of a column, the table will be sorted by the contents of the column. Clicking the header again undoes the sorting. Tables in metadata forms can only be sorted by the content of a column.
• Optimal column width: If you click the right column separator of a column, the column will be adjusted to the optimal width.
• Edit table row: The table will be is opened in a new form with an input area in full view to make editing easier. The row that is you have clicked is also highlighted in the opened form. The values of the this row you have clicked are already entered in the form for editing or for adding a new row.
• Align table columns: All columns in the table will be adjusted to the optimal width.
• Open table: The table will be is opened in a new form in full view to make editing easier. If you select a row in the opened form, the input area for editing the row is also displayed.
• Export spreadsheet data to CSV file: The table will be exported in CSV file format.

  • Text fields are in output in quotation marks (e.g., "abc").

  • Date and time fields are output in ISO format 8601.

  • Decimal numbers are formatted in the language the user has specified.

  • Values from reference fields are output as object IDs.

  • Values from users are output as user IDs.

  • Boolean values are output as FALSE and TRUE or empty/NULL.

• Insert new row: The table will be is opened in a new form with an input area in full view to make editing easier.

Prepopulated Metadata Fields

Certain fields in the metadata forms may already be prepopulated when objects are created. The administrator defines which fields are prepopulated. These fields are specially specifically indicated in the metadata forms when objects are created. Manually entered data has priority, i.e., it overwrites automatically imported data in case of conflict. There is a distinction made between two types of prepopulated metadata fields:

• Object type-specific prepopulated data
  Metadata fields that are yielded by the object type’s configuration can be prepopulated depending on the object type. This can be prepopulated data from free text inputs, catalogs, scripts, or additional components. Metadata fields that are prepopulated by the object type definition are indicated by a df during the creation process.

• Extracted prepopulated data
  Specific pieces of data from the metadata of the files (such as title, creation date, author, etc.) may can be automatically extracted and written to the metadata, depending on the configuration of your yuuvis® Momentum system, when uploading files. Object type-specific prepopulated data will be overwritten during this process. Metadata fields that extract index data from the metadata of uploaded files are indicated by an ex during the creation process.

...

• If both a default value and an extraction are defined for a field, then the data for the extraction (if this is available) is transferred during the creation of an object in yuuvis® Momentum client; otherwise the default value is transferred to the metadata form.

• No extracted data will be shown in the metadata fields indicated as such for files to be filed as a batch. If you enter information in these fields, it will overwrite all extracted data. If you do not enter anything in these fields, all of the extracted data (if this is available) will be transferred; if this is not available, the default value will be transferred to the metadata form.

• If the document file is later replaced, the extraction will be repeated. Existing data in fields configured for a mapping will be replaced or – if no new value is found – removed.

...

In metadata forms, the metadata of another object can be transferred into certain fields, which are known as reference fields. These fields reference the ID of certain objects and therefore are retained even if the referenced object is renamed or moved. The administrator configures reference fields, and they are set up for several values as up as multi-fields to hold several values.

References that have been set up are displayed both in hit lists and in the Summary and Metadata aspect areas. They are indicated in hit lists and in the aspect areas with a  Reference icon. Click the icon to quickly open the referenced objectsobject(s). If you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking, the location of the referenced object will be displayed in a new tab.

...

If a referencing object is located in a folder, you can jump to the filing location of the referenced object by double-clicking the list entry. If the object clicked object is located in the main directory, the object view of the referencing object will open.

If a user does not have any rights to a referencing object, this it will also not be displayed for this user. If a user has read access to a referencing object, but not to the folder in which the object was filed, then the user is only offered the object view for the object.

...

You can start search requests on any page. The search dialog is available for this purpose on the dashboard and in the yuuvis® Momentum bar. Following The following options are available and can also be combined:

The search links combines all search terms on search forms and all limitations on object properties and object types with AND by default. If you are using multiple object types in the search, they are linked Object types are combined in the search by with OR. In the search dialog, you can change the logical operator of multiple search terms or criteria to OR and/or create nested searches.

...

Hit List View

The results of a search will be are displayed in a hit list of all objects that were found. The hit list view is divided into the areas described below. You can sort, filter, and configure the hit list. Search results are sorted lexicographically. This means that sorting is case-sensitive and special characters are accounted for. Depending on the configuration, the hit list will contain several columns with basic metadata, type metadata, tags, such as type, title, description, editor, etc. The view of a hit list always corresponds to the hit list configuration of the selected object type.

List

The hit list presents the results of a search request in a table per default. It contains several columns containing basic metadata, type metadata, and tags with information such as object type, title, description, editorseditor, etc.

The appearance of this table can vastly differ, depending on the search, configuration of object types, or configuration of the hit list. This means that the view of a hit list always corresponds to the hit list configuration of the object type currently selected in the hit list.

Using your mouse, you You can make the following changes directly in a hit list:

• Adjust column widths by moving the column divider or by double-clicking the column divider (creates the optimal column width). The change of column width will also affect other hit lists, provided that you use the same columns there, too. If you have changed column widths, these changes will be saved automatically when you switch views. In addition, these settings apply to all users who use the same browser as you.
• Adjust column sorting:
  • You can sort the hit list by a column by clicking its header. Clicking the column header repeatedly will change the sort direction or undo it.
  • You can sort a hit list by several columns by holding the Ctrl key. Numbers and small arrows in the column headers indicate the sort order.
  • Columns with labels (for example, columns with user names) cannot be sorted.
  • If you have sorted a hit list by clicking the column headers and then open the hit list configuration menu, this sorting will be transferred to the hit list configuration menu and can be saved there.

If you select an object in the hit list, the object aspects will be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen. You can open the folder view, or the object view if a document does not have a parent folder, by double-clicking an entry on item in the hit list.

Selecting and Focusing

...

• Selected elements:

  • The row of selected elements is highlighted.

  • Multiple rows can be selected.

• Focused elements: 

  • Only one element out of all selected elements can be focused.
  • The icon is highlighted again at the beginning of the row.
  • For focused elements, the object aspects are displayed in the object area.

You can use the mouse to select further elements by additionally holding down the Ctrl button key or the Shift key while clicking these elements. If you hold down the Shift key when clicking the mouse, all the rows between the row you have clicked and the row with the most recent focusing are selected, but the focus remains on the first row. If you hold down the Ctrl key when clicking the mouse, the row you have clicked is highlighted in addition to the existing selections. The focus still remains on the first row. When you position the cursor on another selected row and click the right mouse button, this row is focused.

...

The copy to clipboard operation is supported in all grids (result list, metadata table) and can be done applied in the following ways:

Highlighting for several seconds in dark blue indicates that the selection has been copied to the clipboardTo indicate that copying the selection was successful, the selected cells/rows are highlighted in the accent color for a few seconds. This is the default setting, which the administrator can adjust accordingly.

Panel

In the filter areapanel, you can control the display of the objects shown in a hit list. You can limit the number of objects shown in the hit list by using filters. You will can find the filters in the filter area panel next to the object lists. It may be that the filter area next to an object list is collapsed. Click the  Double chevron icon to expand the filter areapanel if it is collapsed.

In the filter areapanel, you can use both default filters that are available to every user throughout the system and your own filters that you have configured yourself via the filter configuration menu. How many filters are available and which ones depends on the object types that are displayed in an object list.

You enable activate a filter by clicking a the checkbox next to it. The numbers in front of the checkboxes indicate how many documents in the hit list match the specific selection filter criterion.

You can expand and collapse the sections in the list of filters by clicking the  Minus icon or the   Plus iconicons. In the footer of the filter areapanel, you can choose toggle between different display formats layouts for the filter display. You can display of the filters (flat list, grouped), or   expand and collapse the filter area by clicking the Double chevron icon. These layout settings in the filter area panel. The filter panel's layout settings are saved when you exit the view. The next time you open the same view, the same layout settings saved when you exited the view will be displayed again.

Object

...

Area

The object area is displayed to the right of the hit list area when you select an element in from the hit list. It shows all object aspects of the object that was selected in the hit list. If you selected object. To hide the object area, click the element in the hit list again while holding down the Ctrl  key, the object area will be hidden again.

Business Process Management

Processes are created on the basis of at least one object, which is stored as an attachment in the process. Each process contains tasks that have to be completed by users.

There are three specific views that allow users to handle processes:

• The My follow-ups view lists all active follow-up processes that you created via the object action actions menu.
• The Inbox view lists all user tasks that are intended for the authenticated usertasks of processes the currently logged-in user is assigned to, such as reminder tasks of for follow-up processes that have reached their follow-up date. All tasks of processes the currently logged-in user is assigned to are listed as wellfollow-up date.
  
• The My processes view lists all processes except follow-ups started by the logged-in user.

...

Those processes can be created for both folder and document objects. They act as processing reminders, for example. You can only create one follow-up for each object via the object action actions menu. Once you have created a follow-up, it will be displayed in the My follow-ups area view provided via the main menu until the time specified for due date of the follow-up is reached. Here you can edit or delete all active follow-ups (i.e., follow-ups for which time has not yet expired).

When the specified time due date of a follow-up is reached, the object to be followed up is also displayed in the Inbox hit list provided via the main menu. By confirming the follow-up, you can remove expired follow-ups from both the inbox Inbox and the My follow-ups area view.

Other Processes

If an admistrator administrator configures further types of business processes in addition to the follow-up processes, they can be started for individual objects via the respective object action under MORE ACTIONS in the object actions menu.
