Stacking View
Table of contents
Description:
Displays a set of documents in one or more scrollable stacks. By default, all documents are placed in a single stack. If a key is specified, multiple stacks will show up side-by-side, each containing documents sharing the same value for that key. Additionally, each value is displayed as an editable text field with a colored background at the top of the stack.
Good for:
Categorizing documents by specified keys while maintaining a live preview of each document Navigating Dash as a “Trello Board”
Objects & actions:
- Categorizing documents by a specified key: when a key is specified via typing in the “Group by” input box besides the perspectives pulldown, the default single stack transforms and displays multiple stacks side-by-side, each containing documents sharing the same value for that key.
- Updating the value of a specified key
- For a single document: click and drag the desired document, then drop it into the target stack to update its value
- For a stack: click on the title (value) at the top of the stack to edit or delete the value
- Reposition documents within a stack: click and drag the desired document, then drop it into the target location within the stack to reposition it vertically. This will not affect its metadata.
- Navigating Dash as a “Trello Board” - when combined with a document view showing only a document’s title, this essentially becomes a Trello board
