Dashlets

KnowledgeTree uses the currently logged in user's credentials to determine the information that display on the Dashboard. Some dashlets are only visible to the administrator, providing information on system specific tasks, resources, and statistics.

 

Welcome ... - an editable welcome message.

 

Your Checked-out Documents - a list of documents checked out by the current user.

 

Document Indexer Statistics - provides statistics on the status of document indexing; a diagnostic function allows you to check that the correct version of documents are indexed, and to re-schedule indexing if necessary. Displays the number of documents that have been indexed, and the number of documents still in the indexing queue. This dashlet also informs you if there is an error with the Indexer, whereas the Text Extractor Diagnostics dashlet will provide a detailed explanation.

 

Text Extractor Diagnostics - displays only when it detects an error. This function checks that the Indexer and the Text Extractors are working, and informs you which Text Extractors are not working. For example, it would allow you to see why your PDF documents are not being indexed, even though your Word documents are being indexed. Results may be obtained by running the following script: search2/indexing/bin/diagnose.php script

 

Orphaned Folders - lists any folders that you won't be allowed to navigate to through the folder structure because you do not have view permissions on the parent folder. You can use the orphaned folder link to go directly to the folder, but you won't be able to access any other folders at this location.

 

RSS Feeds - lists your existing RSS Feeds on external content (blogs, external websites, etc.) and displays  a full view of your RSS feeds on internal content, plus a link to the RSS Feeds management interface.

Note: See the KnowledgeTree User Manual for information on working with

KnowledgeTree's RSS Feeds functionality.

 

Storage Utilization - displays information on file system mount, total storage space, used and available storage space.

 

External Resource Dependency Status - displays an error report, only when errors are detected with KnowledgeTree's external resources (Document Indexer and OpenOffice).

 

Go to Document ID - Use this dashlet to enter a document id; then, go directly to that document in the repository.

 

Recently Viewed Items - lists the documents and folders last viewed by the currently logged in user.

 

Quicklinks - displays predefined links to frequently used items.

Note: See the KnowledgeTree User Manual for information on Adding Quicklinks.

 

Tag Cloud - displays tags defined by all system users. Click on a tag to display a permissions-based list of content associated with a selected tag.

Note: See the KnowledgeTree User Manual for information on adding and using tags.

 

WebDAV Connection Information - instructions for connecting to the WebDAV server.

 

System Folder Utilization - lists system folders used by KnowledgeTree, the path to the folder, the space used by each folder. A 'cleanup' link adjacent to each folder clears the tmp, cache, and log directories, and may be used when the file size of temporary files affect system performance.

 

Document Indexer Status - provides information on the Document Indexing Service.

 

Top Downloads - displays a permissions-based list of the seven most downloaded documents in your organizational DMS.

 

Recently Added/Changed Documents - permissions-based list of the five most recently added or modified documents in the system.

 

License - displays only when your license has expired (Commercial Editions).

 

Pending Documents - any documents requiring your attention in a workflow.

 

Notifications - displays a notice to inform you when actions have occurred on folders where you have subscriptions set up, and other system-generated notices.

 

Mail Server Status - only visible on the Dashboard until the system administrator has configured email notifications to be sent from the KnowledgeTree server.
