ObjectManager with OrderSupport - Contents: Edit contained objects.

Description

This view displays the contained objects and allows you to add, delete, change and order them.

Each contained object is displayed on a line and is identified by an icon, an id and a title in parenthesis. Additionally, the size (if applicable) and the date during which the object was last modified are displayed. You can manage an object by clicking on its identifying link.

Sorting vs. Ordering

You can sort contained objects by type, name (id), size, modification date or by position (fixed order, see below). To do so, click on the appropriate column heading. Clicking a second time on any column heading (except position) will reverse the sort on that field. Sorting takes no actions on the contained objects, but will only change the users personal point of view.

You can order contained objects with the controls on the bottom of the page. The order of objects (sort by position) is stored in the database and remains fixed until it is changed by another user.

Versions

If you are currently working in a version there will be a notice at the top of the list of objects indicating this.

If there is a red diamond following the name of an object this indicates that the object has been modified in the version you are currently working in. If there is a red diamond with a lock after an object, this indicates the the object has been modified in another version.
