Bookmarks and Recent Documents

Main | Account User | Projects

Bookmarks and Recent Documents are two way to quickly locate documents you are working on and directly open them in Writer, Reader or the Catalog. The interfaces are available on the User Account Mainbar at all times. Updated: 2016-07-05

Overview

Every user of IGP:Digital Publisher has Bookmarks and Recent Document tools. These are two user productivity features that enable you to engage with your content faster and more effectively, especially in very large systems with thousands of projects and documents.

Both Bookmarks and Recent Documents are always available on every users Toolbar for instant access.

Behaviour considerations

Both Recent Documents and Bookmarks access is maintained in accordance with your project and document access permissions. The following rules are enforced:

  1. If a document is moved from your account or a project to a project where you do not have permissions to access the document, the document will be removed from your Recent Documents and Bookmarks.
  2. If a document is moved from your account or a project where you have access to the document to another project where you have access to documents, the document will remain in your Recent Documents or Bookmarks.
  3. Recent Document and Bookmarks references will be automatically updated when this happens.

Recently Documents

Recently Documents is a rotating list of the last 20 books you opened to edit using IGP:Writer from your Private Documents or Projects.

The most recent document you edited is at the top of the list descending in "last-opened" date order.

Recent Documents is the default opening screen when you log-on to IGP:Digital Publisher.

It does not include books opened in IGP:Reader from the Library.

  1. Click on the document title to immediately open it in IGP:Writer and recommence work on the document.
  2. There are three buttons available.
  3. Edit. This is the same as clicking on the title. The document opens in IGP:Writer.
  4. Read. Click on this button to open the document in IGP:Reader. For example this gives access to the REMIX tools.
  5. Catalog: Click on this button to open the Catalog in which the document is listed. This gives you access to all the ACTION tools.

Bookmarks 

Bookmarks gives you instant access to a private list of documents you create and control. You can can Bookmark and un-Bookmark any document to which you have authorized access at any time. Bookmarks can be created on-the-fly for documents in

  1. Private Documents
  2. Projects of which you are a member
  3. from the Account Library

The number of Bookmarks is unlimited and can be organized into categories.

If you click a Bookmarked icon (with the red cross), the book is immediately removed from the Bookmarks list.
