FileWalker

This element allows you to access files on the network. This requires an established connection and sufficient permissions.

The "FileWalker" element is one of the basic controls. This element can be used to structure a page and has no other special properties.

You can find the FileWalker element in the "Applications" module under "Elements. " You can create a new element by dragging and dropping it from here onto the workspace.

When you create the element, the Properties dialog box opens automatically.

Setting "control.fileWalker.availableColumns"

By default, all of a file's metadata is always loaded on the server side, regardless of whether it is needed or not.

To improve performance, the columns that should be selected by default can be defined using the "control.fileWalker.availableColumns" setting. This ensures that only the relevant data is loaded. When loading the page, the required columns are included in the request, since they can also be configured on the web.

This setting has no effect if de.uplanet.lucy.server.filewalker.noDocumentMetaData=true is set.

You can find general information on "Settings" here.
