The home page is displayed after logging in to Imaging. The navigator pane displays panels to which you have access, such as the Searches panel which contains predefined searches. If you have administrative rights, there may also be links to administrative panels such as Manage Searches. For more information about administrative tasks, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Administrator's Guide for Imaging.
Next to the navigator pane is the page region. It is used to display search forms, search results, and the user Preferences page. Above the page region is the banner area, with links to the Preferences page and other functionality, such as the ability to refresh the page or log out of Imaging. Both the navigator pane and banner area can be hidden or exposed by clicking the Collapse Panel icons at the edge of each area.
The following table describes the elements available on the page.
| Element | Description |

The Preferences page is used to set various aspects of the Imaging interface. It is accessed by clicking Preferences in the global links region of the Home page. In addition to information unique to you, such as preferred user interface skin, you can also control aspects of the user interface. When you open the Preferences page, it is displayed over the previous page. Closing the Preferences page uncovers the Home Page if you have not executed a search, or search tabs, if you have. This way you can access the Preferences page at any time without navigating away from your current search results.
The Preferences page is divided into three main sections: the Security Information Section, Personal Settings Section and the Viewer Settings Section.
The following table describes the elements available on the page.
| Element | Description |

The Upload Document Page is used to upload new documents to Imaging. It is accessed from the navigation pane by clicking Tools and then Upload Document.
The information on an Upload Document page is dependent on how it is accessed and on the information requirements of the application in which the document resides. If an application requires more information, additional fields are displayed after you select an application from the Select an Application field.
The following table describes the elements available on the page.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Viewer | Opens the document viewer so you can open, review, and annotate a document before uploading. |
| Upload | Submits the specified document image to Imaging. |
| Reset | Cancels any changes and restores previous settings. |
| Close | Cancels the upload and closes the Upload Document page. |
| Select an Application | Select an application in which this document is to reside. This field is required. Once an application is selected, additional metadata fields unique to the application are displayed. |
| Document Image | Specify an electronic file to upload to the system. Click Browse to navigate through your file system to select the file. The document image file can be any electronic file, but must conform to a format capable of being converted for display in the document viewer to be viewed.This field is required. Note that this field is hidden if you click Open Viewer. If using the viewer to upload a document, navigation to the electronic file is done through the Viewer Toolbar.
Note that if using your keyboard rather than your mouse to select the Browse button, use the Space bar to execute the Browse button function and open the dialog box. The Enter key does not execute the Browse button function. |
| Description | A description of the application is displayed if one was specified when the application was created. It cannot be edited. |
| Metadata fields | Additional metadata fields are displayed on the Upload Document page when an application is selected. The additional fields are unique to each application and are defined by the person who created the application. Required fields are noted with an asterisk (*). |
| Confirmation Message | Once a document is successfully uploaded, a confirmation message is displayed at the bottom of the page. Clicking the message opens the document in the Viewer. |
Use search pages to locate and access content in Imaging. Click a search link in the navigator pane to display the search page. Click another search link to display a new tab. Using multiple tabs can be useful when comparing content, such as an invoice with a purchase order.
Each search page has two sections: the search form criteria section and the search results section that displays after a search has been executed. The criteria section is a predefined form where you input the criteria for which you want to search. The results section displays a list of all content in Imaging to which the user has access that matches the specified criteria. The criteria section can be collapsed or expanded by clicking the collapse pane icon.
The criteria in the search form is predefined by the person who creates the search. This criteria is based on the metadata of the application in which the document resides and can be different for each search. For example, you may have an Invoices search defined that uses an invoice number or issue date, and a Contracts search that allows searching by company ID or business unit.
This section covers the following topics:
The following operators may be available using picklists to aid in your search. These picklists will be between the existing search parameter name and the search field. Note that valid operators are symbols for numeric fields and text for text fields.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| Equals (for text fields)
= (for numeric fields) |
Search for the equivalent value of the one entered. Note that wildcard characters work for text fields. The * character matches 0 to many and the ? matches exactly any one character. For example, you can enter Sm?th to find Smith but not Smythe or Smooth. Entering Sm*th? would find Smythe and Smiths but not Smithee. Entering Sm*th* would find Smith, Smythe, and Smithee. |
| Begins with (text fields only) | Type a letter or number that is at the beginning of the parameter name. Any text character is allowed. This is identical to setting the operator to Equals and entering the first letters followed by the wildcard character *. For example, setting the operator to Begins with and enter And is the same as setting the operator to Equals and entering And*. Each would return Anderson, Andersons, and Andreeson. |
| Ends with (text fields only) | Type a letter or number that is at the end of the parameter name. Any text character is allowed. This is identical to setting the operator to Equals and entering the wildcard character * followed by the last letters. Wildcard characters are accepted in text fields and behave as described in the the operators Begins with and Equals. |
| Contains (text fields only) | Type a letter or number that is contained in the parameter name. Any text character is allowed. This is identical to setting the operator to Equals and entering the wildcard character * followed by the letters and another wildcard character *. Wildcard characters are accepted in text fields and behave as described in the the operators Begins with and Equals. |
| > (numeric fields only) | Search for values greater than the one entered. |
| >= (numeric fields only) | Search for values that exceed or equal the one entered. |
| < (numeric fields only) | Search for vaules less than the one entered. |
| <= (numeric fields only) | Search for values less than or equal the one entered. |
| Not Equal (text fields)
<> (numeric fields) |
Search for values not equivalent to those entered. Note that wildcard characters work for text fields. Null entries (when there is no data in the field) are not returned. For example, assume that the following is true:
If using Not Equal as the operator, entering the following text in the text field returns the listed documents as follows (remember that null entries are not returned):
|
The columns in the results section are based on the application or applications being searched. A single search may span more than one application, and columns from each application are merged. Like the search criteria, they are different for each search. The columns displayed in the results can be reordered or hidden using options in the View menu. Actions can be taken on a single document or multiple documents in the search results section by selecting a document or documents and using either the Search Results Toolbar or the Search Results Contextual Menu.
The following table describes the elements available on the page.

Several icons are used throughout the viewer user interface without explicit identification. These icons provide functionality when clicked. Identifying text is displayed when hovering your cursor over an icon. Options on the viewer toolbar change depending on if you are using the basic or advanced mode. This section details both the Basic Viewer Toolbar Options and the Advanced Viewer Toolbar Options.
Note:
Using browser navigation such as Forward, Back, and Refresh does not provide navigation within a document, a document's panels, or between document tabs open in the viewer. Instead, browser controls navigate outside of the Imaging viewer. When viewing a document, it is recommended that all navigation within the viewer be done using the navigation controls in the viewer toolbar.The basic viewer toolbar offers options to zoom and rotate documents as well as navigate multiple pages.
| Name | Icon | Function |

Permissions are assigned for the different levels of annotations: standard, restricted and hidden as described in the section Assigning Annotation Security Level. If you need a permission level you do not have, talk to the person who manages security for Imaging. If you have the proper permissions to do so, you can annotate documents and view or edit the annotations made by others, as well as view when and by whom an annotation was created and last modified using the Creator/Last Modifier Icon and Dialog. You can create the following annotations:
Sticky Note annotations, as described in Section A.9.6.6, "Sticky Note Annotation Rich Text Editor" and Section A.9.6.7, "Sticky Note Annotation Toolbar"
You must assign each annotation a security level. After you create an annotation, a toolbar appears listing the security options to which you have access for the annotation. Only security permissions assigned to you are listed. For example, if you are assigned only the standard security level, only the standard security level will be listed in the menu as an option for you to assign. To assign a security level to an annotation, select the security level from the toolbar menu. Note that Redaction annotations cannot be marked Hidden.
The following table describes the elements available on the page.
