The main-level views have been grouped into My Views, Common Views and Other Views. In addition, traditional folders are in a separate group. This makes it easier for the user to distinguish among these different views and navigate to My Views. Also, the regular user often does not have the permission for editing common views, so grouping common views separately clarifies the distinction between common views and the user's own views.
It is also possible to display predefined views, such as Favorites, Assigned to Me or Recently Accessed by Me, at the bottom of the listing view.
Objects related to a particular object can easily be browsed directly from the view or from the search result by means of the expand/collapse arrow buttons. M-Files shows all related objects below the main object. This allows you to easily browse, for example, documents and contact persons related to the project, directly from the listing view.
Related objects are automatically grouped by object type or by property definition. This allows you to find the desired document or other object quickly and easily. For example, if you are looking for contact persons related to the project, you can find them easily under the grouping title Contact persons.
