Viewing a List of Open Electronic Files

If you are working with electronic files locally, you can view the list of all of the files you currently have open in your repository using the Open Electronic Files dialog box. This list will include all files that you have not yet saved and closed.  It may also contain files that closed improperly or otherwise were not removed from the cache.

You can use this list to view your open documents, open or jump to files that you have open, or discard changes to a file that you do not want to save to the repository.

To view and open electronic files from the Open Documents dialog

  1. Open the Tools menu and select Open Documents. This will open the Open Electronic Documents list.
  2. To view information for the open electronic documents, scroll left to right to view the document's name, local path, repository path and entry ID.
  3. To open a document directly, select it and click the Open button.
  4. When you are finished, click Close.

To discard changes to an open electronic file from the Open Documents dialog

  1. Open the Tools menu and select Open Documents. This will open the Open Electronic Documents list.
  2. Select the document you want to discard changes for.
  3. Click the Remove button.

    4. Warning: Discarding changes to an electronic file will remove all of the modifications you made since you last closed the file and saved it to Laserfiche. Changes made prior to the last time you saved and closed will be retained, but all changes after that point will be lost.

  4. When you are finished, click Close.
