The index page appears when a job is opened. It shows all the pages used in the file, including attachments and generated documents and letters:
- In addition, the status of those pages is shown – incomplete (red arrow), concluded (green bar), and reviewed.
- Reviews identify the person carrying out the review process in bold type.
- A concluded page shows the name of the person completing the page in regular type.
- A manager review is highlighted blue, and partner green, and a peer reviewer yellow.
- The last work done on the page will show i.e. the highest level.
- It is not compulsory for all pages to be marked reviewed but all pages must be concluded before rollover.
The progress bar in the sidebar shows the number of pages created and completed opening the page indicates how many work items on each page are outstanding:
- When less than five items outstanding on a page these individual items are displayed.
- When there are five or more items or less than five but no work has been done, the page reference only is displayed:
Viewing all available pages including those that have not yet been used
- Select the "view all available pages" button at bottom right of index page - (unused pages are in blue shading):
- Clicking on the link - say Q1 here to open the inventory section - will link to the parent page by going back to where the target page may be created - in the case above to a Control Page point.
- Sometimes it may be necessary to follow the path to create the page and section - for example, clicking Q3 would also link to A1 where the user would then create Q1, followed by Q3 - pages cannot be created without creating their pathway via other pages:
