Access to designs published in SECollab is available from the main menu Designs > Design List.
This component presents designs and their containing directories in a tree structure. Above this tree is an action bar.
Two modes are available for the tree: read-only mode or edit mode
A search bar at the top left allows you to display and expand all directories and designs matching the search.
To the right of the search, the Filters button displays, on hover, options for filtering designs.
These features are available in both read-only mode and edit mode.
Switching to edit mode is done using the rightmost button in the action bar.
In edit mode, a drag-and-drop function allows you to modify the tree structure by moving directories and designs.
The directory display shows contextual action buttons at the end of each line:
To create a root folder, a dedicated button is available exclusively in edit mode, to the right of the filters button, in the action bar.
Clicking on a directory name triggers renaming. Pressing the "Esc" key will cancel the changes, while pressing the "Enter" key will validate them.
Once the modifications are complete, the button located on the far right of the action bar will save the changes and exit edit mode.
By selecting a design in the tree, it is possible to inspect its properties, as well as the list of different versions of this design.
There are several links to access the content of the design in the desired version.
For more details on the design content page, see the Consulting a design section.
The list of different versions (also called local configurations) of the selected design allows you to access the content of the design in a specific version, to know the date of the last data publication for each version, and to access the comparison page for design versions.
This page allows offline publication from a file, via the Import a Design button. You must first have exported this file with SECollab Publisher. For more details, see the Publication section.
A dropdown menu Edit is available on a design's page for users with the appropriate permission. It allows editing the title or description of a design. To edit the content of a design, it is necessary to proceed with the Publication of a new version.
A dropdown menu Delete is available on a design's page for users with the appropriate permission. It permanently deletes the design AND associated comments in reviews.
Warning: Since any deletion is permanent, it is recommended to use this command only in rather rare cases, for example if you have published an incorrect design. If this error occurs on a new version of an existing design, it is currently advised to re-import the appropriate version.
In cases where a design is no longer to be used but you wish to keep the associated comments, you can, for example, create an "Archives" folder into which you move this design.
SECollab allows administrators to define rules for consolidating certain links during import. When such consolidation runs, it generates messages that are stored together with the imported design.
A dropdown menu Data Consistency is available for users authorized to publish designs. This allows users to view anomalies in the published data that caused these consolidation errors.
