Packs
When any dataset is selected on the homescreen, packs that are available to open from that dataset are shown split across up to four sections
- Selected Dataset: these are the Packs that were created with the selected Dataset
- Similar Datasets: These are Packs that were created with other Datasets of the same type and containing similar properties
- Same Dataset Type: These are packs created from the same dataset type e.g. other
people
datasets - Unknown Datasets: These are Packs that were created with a Dataset the user may no longer have access to or which have been deleted
If a Slide's configuration requires a Property that is not available in the Dataset the Pack has been opened with, then Orgvue will display "Unknown Property" wherever that Property is used
Note: Only tabs containing packs relevant to selected dataset will be displayed. Therefore, not all datasets will display the fours tabs detailed above
Pack Cards
Each available pack is displayed with a card on the homescreen which shows:
- A. Pack Name
- B. Last modified date and time
- C. Dataset Type
- D. Dataset Name
Pack Saved with a view
For any packs that have been created and saved from a View, the Pack Card displays:
- A. Dataset Type
- B. Dataset Name: Dataset from which the view was created
- C. View icon: Hovering the cursor over this will display the View name
See Views for more details on creating a View
Pack Saved with a Draft
Any packs created from Drafts may show two icons on the Pack Card if the Draft has been created from a View of a Dataset
- View Icon: Will display View name when mouse is hovered over it
- Draft Icon : Will display Draft name when mouse is hovered over it
Pack Saved with Active Links
When a Pack has been saved with a Dataset when Links are active, the Dataset type icon and name will appear along with the Links icon and the icon detailing the type of Dataset linked to
Hovering the mouse over the Links or Linked to Dataset icons will display the names of these Datasets
Pack Saved with similar Dataset
A Pack can be opened with any compatible Dataset or View
When a Dataset is selected, the Pack will show you the name of the Dataset and or View it was created with (scored out) above the name of the selected dataset it will be opened with
