A User Interface

This section contains information about the interface used with the product.

The following screens are shown in this chapter:

Several buttons are common to many pages and are not discussed unless additional information is available:

A.1 Configure Retention Settings Page

Use this page to set most of the configuration options for the system. When initially opened, the options on this page are unexpanded. Click a link next to an option to expand it.

Surrounding text describes closed_config_ret.gif.

Permissions:

The Admin.RecordManager right is required to use this page. This right is assigned by default to the Records Administrator role.

To access this page, click Records then Configure then Settings from the Top menu.

Most configuration tasks are discussed in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Setup Guide for Universal Records Management.

A.2 Configure Physical Content Management Page

Use this page to configure many aspects of PCM.

The Physical Item Information Page, also discussed in this section, contains information about individual physical items which are managed by PCM.

Surrounding text describes config_pcm.gif.

Permissions:

The PCM.Admin.Manager right is required to access the Configure Physical Content Management page. By default, this right is assigned to the predefined PCM Administrator role.

To access this page, click Physical then Configure then Settings from the Top menu.

The Batch Services option is only displayed if the corresponding option on the Configure Physical Content Management Page is enabled.

The menu items available to users depend on the rights they have been assigned. A content administrator with all access rights (typically assigned the predefined PCM Administrator role) will see all administrator menus. Other users (for example, those assigned the default 'pcmrequestor' role) may see a much smaller subset of the administrator menus, depending on their assigned rights.

A.2.1 Physical Item Information Page

Use this page to view information about an existing physical item.

Surrounding text describes physical_item_information.gif.

Permissions:

The PCM.Physical.View right is required to use this screen. This right is assigned by default to the PCM Requestor and PCM Administrator roles.

To access this page, search for the item. On the search results page click Information then External Item Information in the item's Action menu.

This page shows the current properties of the physical item, including its basic metadata (name, title, filer, and security group), its freeze status, its object and media types, its storage location, and barcode label.

Note the following:

  • If the repository is set up to auto-generate content IDs (in the System Properties utility), the name of a physical item was generated automatically. It is typically a number, possibly preceded by a prefix (for example, ID_002319).

  • If the physical item was assigned a life cycle (retention schedule and disposition rules), the information page also includes a Retention Schedule Information section providing disposition processing and security information for the item.

  • If the physical item is currently checked out, its current location is set to the value of the deliver-to location as specified when the associated reservation request was created. If no location was provided, the current location is set to "OTHER." If a location comment was specified for the associated reservation request, the Current Location Comments field shows this comment. Otherwise it contains the login name of the user who created the reservation request.

  • If the physical item is contained within another physical item, the current location and/or permanent location field includes a Container Details link, which opens the information page of the parent physical item (the "container").

Surrounding text describes fed_search.gif.

To access this screen, click Search then Global Search from the Top menu. Choose the type of search to perform. A similar screen is used for all three types of searches: Central Catalog, Remote Repository, and SES Search.

When using a Remote Repositiory search, an Include Content checkbox is available, used to retrieve copies of the content that match the search criteria. Do not click this box unless search results are certain. Returning a copy of the data takes long and uses space. Fine tune the query first and verify what items will be returned before actually retrieving the content.

Click the Federated Searches List link to see a list of a previously scheduled searches.

Element Description
External Sources The repositories to be used in the search.

Searches are not performed immediately. If an external repository has been chosen, the adapter will schedule the search using its previously established configuration parameters.

If local repositories on the Oracle URM server are chosen in this field, they will be searched during regularly scheduled search batches, scheduled by default for midnight.

Search Builder A pull-down menu containing all fields available for searching. The fields displayed are those in use on the Oracle URM server. These fields should be mapped to those on remote repositories in order to assure correct retrieval.

When a field is selected, additional search options appear, allowing a user to match the field to a specific value.

See the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Content Server for details about using the Query Builder tool.

Full-text Search Area used to enter terms for searching. Not all remote repositories will be configured for full-text searching. If using this option, make sure the repositories selected for searching allow this type of search.
Search Name A name for the search. Federated Searches are performed by adapters and thus conform to an adapter schedule. A meaningful search name will help track the progress of the search.
Results section Selects the number of results per page. Default: 20.
Sort By attribute list Selects one or more attributes by which to sort the results. The list contains all of the screening criteria options.
Sort order list Specifies the sort order of the screening results:
  • Descending: (default) Sorts alphabetical results in Z-A order, numeric results in 9-0 order and date results in newest to oldest order.

  • Ascending: Sorts alphabetical results in A-Z order, numeric results in 0-9 order, and date results in oldest to newest order.

Save button Prompts the user to save the query under a query name. Once saved, the query is available in the My Saved Query section of the My Content Server menu.
