The tree view shows the structure and contents of the selected proposal and any reference folders. A "+" sign next to a folder indicates that it may be expanded to view contents. Proposal sub-folders are only visible if the user has at least read permission to at least one file contained within. Users who are not admins may not be able to view version folders if it has been configured that way.

Click on the permissions icon in top right corner of tree view, or select show/hide permissions from right click menu, to see your color coded permission settings. A window will open with color code key. When this is turned on, permission level is also shown in tool tip when you roll over node with mouse. Click on icon again to revert to normal tree view.

Reference folders contain read-only material that has been made available to users of all proposals by the administrator. Reference folders can be zone specific, across all zones or both. Reference folders are shown in red. Third party users cannot view reference folders.

A document may be viewed by double-clicking on the file or symbolic link, name or icon, in the tree view. Read permission or higher is required for viewing files. Keep in mind that viewing a document is not the same as checking it out. Although you will have a local copy, it cannot be checked back in. If you want to make changes to a document for others to see, use Check-out.

Double clicking on a URL link will open a browser window to the linked web page. Symbolic links and URLs can’t be checked out. If file transfer compression is not turned off by the system admin, non-graphics files larger than 1 MB will be compressed and then decompressed automatically as they transfer to and from the server. You can turn compression off and on for the current session, from the main menu by selecting VPC/Advanced Options. You can cancel the file transfer by clicking on cancel button in progress icon.
