Actions on the More Actions Menu

From an items list, you can use the More actions menu to access actions that you can perform on a single item at a time. If you want to perform actions on more than one document at a time, use the gray toolbar options. For instructions on working with multiple items at a time, see Work with Multiple Items.

You can set which single-document action icons are displayed in items lists in the My Options>Display Options tab under Action Icons. If an icon is added to the list, the option will not be available from the More actions menu.

Depending on your setup, the following actions are available from the More actions menu on any document list:

Delete Content
If you have deletion rights for the currently selected document, this option deletes the file associated with the document.
The Document Profile will remain intact but it will no longer contain a link to the document (similar to how a paper document consists of a profile but has no actual file associated with it).
Delete
If you have deletion rights for the currently selected document, this option deletes the document. This function will delete both the content and the profile of the document.
Get Copy
Downloads a copy of the latest version of the currently selected document to your hard drive from the library without the requirement to View or Check Out the document.
History
Accesses the Document History page for the currently selected document.
Make Read-Only
Sets the document as read-only. The document cannot be edited; edits need to be saved as a new version or sub-version. A red square is added to the document icon to indicate that the document is read-only.
Notification
Displays the Notification tab on the details page for the selected item where you can set and change Notifications. See Set Up Event Notification for instructions.
Publish
Displays the Version List dialog box allowing you to Publish the Last Recently Edited Version or a Specified Version. If you select Specified Version, a list of versions is displayed for you to select the one you want to Publish. Click OK to finish.
The Published version icon is displayed next to the version in the Versions tab.
Depending on your site's setup, if a version of the document is currently set as published, the following message is displayed: “Do you want to set the Last Recently Edited version of the selected document (or documents) as published and set the currently published versions, if any, as read-only?” Click Yes to publish the Last Recently Edited Version. The previously published version is then set as read-only. Click Cancel to cancel the publish operation.
Queue For Deletion
If you do not have deletion rights for the currently selected document, this option allows you to mark the document for deletion by a Supervisor. This function changes the Storage Type to Delete and the number of Retention Days to 0.
Both the content and profile of the document will be deleted once a DM administrator runs the Storage Management utility and deletes the document.
Remove Read-Only
Removes the read-only designation, allowing the document to be edited.
Show Related Items
Displays the Related Items tab on the Document Details page. From this tab you can view all the related items for the selected document, as well as add or remove any related items.
