1 INTRODUCING WORLDOX GX4 PROFESSIONAL

1.1 Overview

Welcome to Worldox GX4 Professional. This guide provides information for getting started with Worldox. It
describes how to open, edit and save documents with profile information. It also explains how to access
features in the Worldox user interface and customize it according to your needs.

For information about using more advanced Worldox features, such as Quick Profiles, Workspaces, Legal
Hold, etc., please refer to the Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: Advanced Topics.

1.2 What is Worldox GX4 Professional?

Worldox GX4 integrates with other applications, bringing together everything needed to find, copy, view,
organize, control, describe, index, categorize, apply security and create versions of your electronic files and
email messages.

This guide describes how Worldox uses Profiling to classify and store files. When profiling documents,
various fields are available to help you properly save files to specific locations. Examples of profile fields
include Description, Client, Matter, Doc Type, Typist, and Description.

Note: Quick Profiling helps streamline and accelerate the process of profiling, so that you can apply profiles
multiple times without having to manually enter all necessary information. Please see the Worldox GX4
Professional User Guide: Advanced Topics for details.

1.3 Worldox GX4 New Features

Worldox GX4 has been enhanced with Follow Me Favorites and Active Profiling capabilities which make it
even easier to save and retrieve content.

§ Follow Me Favorites technology knows which files you worked on recently and then presents these
choices for quick filing and navigation. The File Save dialog now provides Cabinet, Favorite Matters
or Quick Profile tabs, where you can choose a folder with predefined information and automatically
populate profile fields while saving new files into Worldox.

§ Filing emails has never been easier since Worldox GX4 actively monitors incoming and outgoing
emails with heuristics, assigns client matter information and adds folders in Outlook that correlate
to your Worldox Favorite Matters. Your Worldox drop folders in Microsoft Outlook evolve and are
automatically updated according to what you do in Worldox. If a matter is no longer a favorite, the
folder is automatically removed from your list of Favorite Matter drop folders in Outlook.

§ The new QuickSave option automatically profiles content for users with the click of a button from
Microsoft Excel, Word and Adobe Reader applications. It enables you to save a file into Worldox
and base all profile information upon a pre-defined Quick Profile template. As a result, your file is
stored into Worldox immediately, but you can change the profile data for it at a later time if
necessary. This feature is helpful in certain scenarios. For example, you might need to save a file for

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 6 of 116

Volume I: The Basics

a new client who does not yet have Client ID assigned to them. For details about QuickSave, see
Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: Advanced Topics.

Other GX4 changes to note are:

§ Profile Groups are known as Cabinets

§ Preview files panel with in-line viewing technology

§ Broad document tagging, enhanced search capabilities and results

§ Executive tile/grid or list views

§ Field table lookup for code and description

§ Microsoft Office QuickSave and Search

§ Greater control of selecting your Favorites by one click of a heart button

§ Reorganized File Save dialog with the ability to edit Categories, Security, Relations, Versions and
Defaults

§ Intelligent Find to further narrow down any vague search results

§ Ability to search for files based upon their Category

§ Minimizing the Navigation Panel to increase space for the Worldox file list

§ Customization of the user interface theme with Worldox GX3, Windows 7 and Windows 8 icon,
colors and styles

§ Tool tips when performing new procedures in GX4

§ Favorite Matters and Quick Profiles appear in either tree or flat views

For more on new GX4 features and enhancements please check GX4 online Help. (Select Contents on the
Help menu.)

1.4 Worldox Deployment Options

The following versions of Worldox have feature-rich interfaces that allow users to navigate, audit,
bookmark, tag, preview, share, secure, categorize and search documents:

§ Worldox GX4 Professional is the client server and standard desktop version of Worldox.
§ Worldox GX4 Enterprise is a remote-access version of Worldox designed for multiple-office firms
wishing to centralize document storage and management on site.
§ Worldox GX4 Cloud has most of the powerful features of the heavy Worldox client, but generates
even more expediency and flexibility through the utilization of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
technology and cloud computing. With GX4 Cloud, professionals can use Worldox efficiently from
virtually any location. Worldox GX4 Cloud is easily accessible from any computer, laptop or mobile
device.

1.6 Worldox Technical Support

1.6.1 Contact Worldox Technical Support

World Software Technical Support is available to Worldox Maintenance Agreement customers free of
charge between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday, except on common American
business holidays.

Before calling Technical Support, please do the following:

§ Call from the computer that is experiencing issues if you are calling about a specific
machine or user.

§ If the problem involves an error message, try to leave the message on the screen. If that is
not possible, then please write down the exact error message. Or, capture that message’s
image on the screen and send it to us. (Just press the Prt Scr key on your keyboard and
paste the image into a Word document.)

To contact Worldox Technical Support:

§ Call: 1-201-444-3290

§ Email: support@worldox.com

Note: Providing remote access to World Software Technical support is often a necessary
part of the troubleshooting process. Remote access sessions give World Software support
technicians the information needed for expedient and effective problem resolution.

1.6.2 Request Technical Support Online

You can now request technical help online without the need to actually call Worldox tech support. You no
longer have to wait for the next available technician and you can also track pending service requests.

Volume I: The Basics

Use the new online service tool named Worldox Customer Portal. It is available to all current Worldox
maintenance customers. To access the Worldox Customer Portal, just send an email to:
support@worldox.com. Please include the following information in your message:

§ First/last name

§ Company name

§ UNIQUE/PERSONAL email address. For example, this email address is neither personal nor
unique:

administrator@companyname.com

While this one is both:

JBauer@companyname.com

The latter approach is better, since you will be creating a personal profile when you log in
for the first time.

World Software will then send you a confirmation email with your username and password, plus a link to
the portal.

2 SAVING A FILE WITH PROFILE INFORMATION

2.1 Understanding Profile Elements

A file’s location (folder path) is determined by the Cabinet (known as profile group in previous versions of
Worldox) and profile field values used to identify that document.

Profile forms start with the cabinet choice (or pre-selection, if there is only one group available). Fields on
profile forms – such as Client, Matter, Doc Type and Typist – reflect the fields used for the selected cabinet.

Use the Description field to describe the contents of the file. The description can be up to 128 characters
long. After you finish typing your file description, you can press the Enter key to add a line or lines for
additional comments. You can view comments in the file list. Comments can hold up to 5,000 characters and
are fully text searchable.

Use the Security feature in Worldox to protect the file. Examples of the types of security that can be applied
are: Custom, Hidden, and Protected.

2.2 Create and Save a New Document

Documents are organized and saved in cabinets with profile metadata. To demonstrate how this works, create
and save a Word document.

After creating a document, click Save (F12) or select File > Save, or File > Save As. Worldox responds by
opening the File Save profile form.

File Save profile form

Note: If any quick profiles are available, you can click the Quick Profiles tab to view them
and select one. When you select a quick profile, some or all form fields are filled in.

In the Description field, type in a name for the document you are saving.

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 10 of 116


© Copyright 2015 World Software Corporation®. All rights reserved.
Volume I: The Basics

File descriptions and comments are combined into one field. Simply press the Enter or return key after you
finish typing your description to add comments if desired.

Re-select the cabinet if necessary by clicking Cabinet. With another cabinet selected, the form reloads to
show available field choices.

Click numbered profile field buttons to display field lookup tables. You can select codes or values in those
dialogs, scroll down lists, or perhaps the best way is just start typing to look up codes automatically.

Note: When adding or changing profile metadata, you can now start typing either the field’s Description or
Code to automatically look for it in the list and populate the field. Worldox does not delineate between code
and description and highlights any matching codes or descriptions in the field table list. You can type
additional characters to refine your search. In the following example, the user began to type “ME” in the
Client field. Any codes and descriptions with those letters automatically appeared in the list for quick and easy
selection. An example is below:

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 11 of 116


© Copyright 2015 World Software Corporation®. All rights reserved.
Volume I: The Basics

Press the Tab key to move to the next field in the form. Fill in required fields.

Click OK when you are ready to save the file into Worldox.

2.3 “Copy profile from” option

The File Save dialog provides a Copy profile from option which allows you to base the new document’s profile
on another existing Worldox document’s profile.

In the File Save profile form, click Copy profile from.

The Worldox main screen appears. Highlight a file in the list and click the Select button on the toolbar.
Follow dialog prompts to copy profile information (for example, the file’s Description or Cabinet/User) to the
new file.

Volume I: The Basics

2.4 Global Doc ID Numbering

Worldox uses global numbering when creating new documents. When a document is saved, it is automatically
assigned a unique document number (Doc ID). Document numbers are eight (8) numeric characters followed
by the file application extension. Documents are numbered consecutively as they are saved, meaning no two
documents will have the same number.

Examples of document numbers:

§ 00000001.DOCX

§ 00000002.DOCX

§ 00000003.XLSX

If you want to view Doc IDs in the file list, ensure that you are in the list view. (If you are in the tile
view, simply click the Switch to list view button.) Right-click in the gray area of the
column header bar and select Insert Column.

Then select Doc ID from the context menu to view Doc IDs in the file list.

3 THE WORLDOX USER INTERFACE

3.1 Worldox Main Screen

When you choose File > Open from within Word, Excel or any other supported application, the Worldox main
screen appears.

Note: Depending on how Worldox is set up at your site, there may be several other ways to reach this main
screen, including double-clicking the Worldox icon on your Windows taskbar or the Worldox WorkZone icon.

Main Worldox screen

3.2 Worldox Navigation Panel

The navigation panel on the left side contains fly-outs for Favorite Matters, Bookmarks, Cabinets, Workspaces,
My Computer and Workflows. Please note that all of these may not be available in your copy of Worldox
depending on configuration. You can view the fly-outs after you click them. They close if your cursor is
focused elsewhere. You can pin fly-outs to remain open if needed. The windows will then be re-sized to show
all available data.

3.3 Keyboard Indicator

If you notice the word “Keyboard” in between some arrows, it is simply indicating where your cursor is
focused while using the Worldox UI. For example, if your cursor is highlighting a file in the list, the Keyboard
indicator arrows will point to the right.

If your cursor is highlighting a folder in the Navigation Panel, then Keyboard indicator arrows point to the left.

Volume I: The Basics

If your cursor is highlighting an area in one of the bottom document tabs, the Keyboard indicator arrows will
point down.

customization is possible here. In the navigation panel, you can customize whether category buttons appear
and reorder them in the order you prefer.

3.5 Favorite Matters Category

Favorite Matters displays a list of matters you have accessed recently. This is similar to the Worldox Favorite
Files feature except that folders are being tracked here rather than individual files. In fact, your Favorite
Matters list is derived from your recently accessed Favorite Files.

Favorite Matters tab in Tree View Favorite Matters tab in Flat View

Folders appearing in the Favorite Matters category change over time based upon changes in your Favorite
Files list.

In Worldox GX4, Microsoft Outlook drop folders now automatically correlate with Favorite Matters. You can
easily move your incoming and outgoing emails to these folders in Outlook so that they are immediately
saved into Worldox.

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 17 of 116

Volume I: The Basics

Note: Since GX4 uses Follow Me Favorites technology, if you are no longer accessing files in a Favorite Matter,
that matter will automatically disappear from Microsoft Outlook’s drop folders over time.

3.5.1 Tree Branches in the Navigation Panel for Favorite Matters

In previous versions of Worldox, the Favorite Matters tab in the Navigation Panel showed Worldox, Cabinet
name, and Active folder with sub-folders.

In Worldox GX4, the Favorite Matters tab no longer shows a Worldox line or Active Folder. It shows Cabinets
(formerly Profile Groups) and sub-branches.

GX3 Favorite Matters category in Tree View GX4 Favorite Matters category in Tree View

3.5.2 Favorites Matter tab on the File Save dialog

The File Save dialog also provides a Favorite Matters tab. When you save a new file into Worldox, you can
double-click a Favorite Matters folder to automatically populate profile fields.

3.5.3 Remove from Favorites

You can remove a Favorite Matter listing in the Favorite Matters pane. Just right-click the Matter you want to
remove and select Remove from the right-click menu.

Removing a folder from Favorite Matters

Once a folder or group has been removed, that item stays removed from Favorite Matters until you again
access any files in that location. At that point, those files are represented on one or more of your Favorite
Files lists, and folders/groups in which those files reside will again appear in Favorite Matters.

Note: Since GX4 uses Follow Me Favorites technology, if you are no longer accessing files in a Favorite Matter,
that matter will automatically disappear from Microsoft Outlook’s drop folders.

3.6 Cabinets

The Cabinets tab lists all cabinets to which you have access. Please note that Cabinets were referred to as
Profile Groups in previous versions of Worldox.

3.7 Workspaces

The Workspaces tab displays links to “subscribed” files and folders – content that you have chosen to list in
this personal content zone. Please see the Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: Advanced Topics for details.

are using the Productivity Suite version of Worldox, you can access the Workflow Inbox, listing Active and
Closed workflows that you have received and have worked on, also Sent, Active and Closed workflows you
initiated. Please see the Worldox Productivity Suite User Guide for details.

3.9 Bookmarks

The Bookmarks tab displays a list of your personal bookmarks, those added to the bookmark list or toolbar

3.12 Worldox Toolbar

The toolbar at the top of your main screen should look something like this:

Main Worldox toolbar

Switching to different views in Worldox changes the toolbar. Depending on which type of file list is visible
(e.g., email, Salvage bin, a list of file versions), the button line-up changes. Which toolbar buttons you see
depends on the actions possible on whatever file list is visible.

The toolbar you see could be different, as buttons can be added, removed or reordered. Buttons can also be
renamed. You yourself may have the rights to make such changes. So the choices shown above are commands
most frequently used on this main toolbar. You may not see all of these buttons on your toolbar.

Tip: There are many other commands in Worldox— too any to fit on one toolbar. All commands are accessible via pull-
down and right-click menus.

Button Command/Description

File > Open … Opens the selected file.

File > View … Displays the selected file in the Worldox Viewer window. The Viewer window
shows the type of program the file was created in. Using the Viewer toolbar, you can open
the file, advance to the next or previous file on the list, increase or decrease font size,
search for text and take various other actions. Tabs at the bottom of the window allow you
to add comments, view and edit the document profile and preview the file.

screen opens for the first time in any one session.

List > Refresh … Reloads Worldox screen content, redisplaying the active file list.

Search > Find … Opens the Search Templates dialog, where you can select a saved search
form to use in searching.

4 FIND/SEARCH
Worldox provides several powerful search tools. A search bar is provided in the Search tab. You can simply
type search criteria in the search bar, but you also have the option to click on the filter buttons below it.
These filter buttons enable you to perform queries by cabinet, profile field, category or date criteria to further
narrow your search. A search bar is also conveniently located above file list and grid views. You can also use
search forms (Find Files templates) to specify text and/or profile values for your search. Any found files then
display in a list of results. If you search for text in files, you can view individual found files in the Worldox
Viewer window, where found text items are highlighted.

4.1 Using the Search Tab

The Search tab’s search field allows you to find files based on Doc ID or Description/Contents.

If you click the drop-down arrow at the end of the Search Bar, you can view recent history of past navigations
(even non-search ones like Direct Access) that you have performed. You can also type in a full path to navigate
if you prefer.

Simply enter criteria in the field and click the green check mark icon or simply hit your Enter key. The words
that appear below what you typed are the most common variations of the word you typed. These comes from
the built in spell check dictionary. They are just suggestions and are not words in the database already.

The following example shows search results for files with “agreements” in the Doc ID or Description or
Contents.

4.2 Search with Filters for Cabinets, Profiles, Categories and Dates

When you type criteria into the Search bar and click Search, the cabinets that are included in your site’s Quick
Access template are the ones that will be searched by default. You can narrow a search by adding multiple
filters for Cabinets, Profiles, Categories or Dates.

Note: There is only one limitation for searching more than one cabinet if you add a profile field. See A
Limitation when using Search Tab Filter Buttons for details.

Enter a document’s Description, ID or contents.

Click a filter button, for example Add Cabinet filters. The Select Cabinet dialog appears.

Check a cabinet or cabinets to search.

The Search tab’s field box displays the name of the cabinet you want to search.

Volume I: The Basics

Note: To clear criteria, you can close the Search tab or click the red X button near the criteria
in the Search tab’s field box.

You can combine filters to further narrow your search. For example, click Add Profile filters and specify a field
to search, such as Author. Click OK.

Note that the Cabinet name and Author name (profile field) appear in the Search tab’s field box.

Click the Search button with the green check mark.

Results are displayed in a file list tab.

4.2.1 A Limitation when using Search Tab Filter Buttons

Although you can combine filters for Cabinets, Profiles, Categories and Dates, you cannot search more than
one Cabinet at a time if you select a profile field.

In this example, two cabinets are selected, Word Files and Documentation.

Next, click Add Profile filters and then specify a field (for example, an Author name). Click OK.

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 33 of 116


© Copyright 2015 World Software Corporation®. All rights reserved.
Volume I: The Basics

Note that only one Cabinet remains in the Search tab’s field box since you specified a profile field. That is the
only current limitation if you want to add filters for more than one cabinet.

If you add two Cabinet filters and then click Add Category filters or Add Date filters, you will be able to
specify more criteria to narrow your search.

In the following example, two cabinets are selected (Word Files and Sample Client Files), as well as a category
filter and a date filter. This type of search is allowed.

4.3 Search for a Doc ID, Description or Contents

The Worldox file list and tile views have an enhanced search bar where you can enter either a Document ID,
Description or file contents to conduct a search. You can toggle what it searches by clicking the Search icon on
the left of the Search Bar.

If you click the drop-down arrow at the end of the Search Bar, you can view recent history of past navigations
(even non-search ones like Direct Access) that you have performed. You can also type in a full path to navigate
if you prefer.

In the Worldox file list or tile view, enter search criteria in the Search for Doc ID or Desc or Contents bar. In

the following example, “act” is the word to search for within a file’s contents. The binoculars icon is
selected to show search options.

The following example shows search results for files that contain the text ‘”act”. A line appears below the file
name to show the snippet of found text in the file. The word “act” displays in bold in each line.

Volume I: The Basics

Arrows in the line under the file name indicate the next instance in the file where text was found. You are not
required to open the file if you quickly need to confirm the occurrence(s) of text found.

If no files that match your search criteria are found, a message pops up to state that.

4.4 Perform an Advanced Search

On the Worldox main window, click the Advance Find toolbar button or select Database from the Search
menu. A Search pop-up asks if you would like to Modify your last Active search or Start a New Search.
That opens the Search Templates dialog, listing all available search forms (templates). You can select any
one of these, either to run that search exactly as it is defined now, or as a starting point to customize a
new search.

Search Templates

Note the icons to the left of listed search forms.

§ A binoculars icon denotes a form can be changed before running the search. Clicking one
of these listings opens the search form.
§ A binocular with arrow icon means the search runs immediately upon selection. Clicking
one of these listings starts the search without first opening the form.

If one of those binoculars with arrow instant searches is what you need, select it. That starts the
search and displays any found files in a file list. Otherwise, click one of the binoculars listings to open
the Find Files form. Here is an example:

Find Files search form

Customize your search.

§ Click Cabinet to choose one or more cabinets in which to search. If more than one is selected,
only profile fields (numbered buttons, as shown above) shared by all selected groups will appear
on the search form.

§ Click date, profile field or other buttons to specify search criteria. Or, type directly into open
fields. When you make entries in more than one profile field (the fields with numbered buttons to
the left), AND buttons appear to the right of those fields.

That means Worldox will search for files meeting BOTH search criteria. Click the AND button to
turn it to OR if you want to find files meeting EITHER search criteria.

You can click Search What to further target the search in the Search What dialog.

Search What dialog

Fill out the search form however you want, and then click Search.

You then see either a list of files matching search criteria, or a message saying that no files were found.

Note: Typically, only the most current file versions are searched. You may have the option to search for prior
versions. If so, it can be selected in the Search What dialog.

4.5 Using Boolean Search Logic

Worldox GX4 uses the following Boolean operators:

§ & = AND combines terms to limit a search


§ ! = NOT removes unwanted criteria from a search
§ | = OR broadens searches

Please note that Worldox recognizes the actual words “AND”, “OR” and “NOT” during searches. So if you
use those words instead of the Boolean operators, Worldox will literally search for those words, along
with other words or phrases you enter as search criteria. For example, you might enter, “tax or return”
and search results will yield no files. However, if you enter, “tax | return,” you might find many files.

Disclaimer: If you are using an older version of Worldox (prior to GX4), please be advised that the logic used in
Boolean searches has changed.

4.5.1 Sample & (and) search

For example, if you want to all files that include the words “lease” and “agreement”, you enter “lease &
agreement” in the Text in File field in a Find Files form.

Search results yield any files that have the words “lease” and “agreement” in them.

4.5.2 Sample ! (not) search

If you want search for files that have the word “lease” in them without the word “agreement,” you can
enter “lease ! agreement.”

Search results yield any files that have the word “lease” in them, but not the word “agreement”.

4.5.1 Sample | (or) search

That starts the search. You then see either a list of files matching your search criteria, or a message saying
that no files were found.

4.7 Narrowing a Search or using the Intelligent Find Feature

If you perform a vague search and too many results are found, you can further narrow your search criteria by
date. If your query returns too many hits, Worldox will display this dialog below asking if you want to qualify
by date. If you still want the full list, select the I want the full list button.

The goal is to give provide fewer files in your list so you can more easily find the file(s) you need.

4.8 Search within a Search

Searching can return large numbers of results, so Worldox makes it easy to search again within the list of
found files.

Perform a search using whatever criteria are necessary.

5 DIRECT ACCESS
Direct Access is essentially a shortcut, a way to quickly reach folder contents without having to search or drill
down through the Cabinet folder tree on the navigation panel. It allows navigation based on the folder-level
Profile Fields of any Cabinet. In conjunction with Favorite Matters it allows quick access to all your recent
work folders.

From the Worldox main window, click Direct Access on the toolbar, or select Direct Access from the List
menu. That opens the Direct Access form.

6 SELECTED FAVORITE FILES


Favorite Files in Worldox are files you have recently saved or otherwise used. Worldox “remembers” and lists
up to 20 recently accessed files in each Favorites category. When you start using Worldox, you may have just
a few favorite categories listed. As you work with more programs – and access more files –Favorites
categories change to reflect this activity.

Favorite listings are based on recent activity. Any one Favorites category can only have up to 20 files listed, so
the Favorites list changes over time. Also, certain files are removed from the Favorites list over time they get
removed or if you do not access them again. The exception is when you manually add Favorites this way.
Manually-added or “chosen” Favorites stay on the list until you choose to remove them.

There are different icons to represent different states of Worldox Favorites logic.

§ If a folder with an arrow icon appears, it indicates that the file became a Favorite because you
recently created, saved it or opened it.

§ If a file has a red heart icon, it indicates that it is a chosen favorite, meaning that you clicked the
heart icon to activate it as a Favorite (it turns red).

§ If you no longer want a file to be a Favorite, you can click the red heart icon in the file list to
deactivate it. The heart icon becomes grayed-out when a file is no longer a chosen Favorite. This is
ideal to remove clutter and keep your list relevant and easier to use.

6.1 Access Favorite Files Lists

From the Worldox main window, click Recent Files on the toolbar, or select Selected Favorites from the
List menu. That opens the List > Selected Favorites Files dialog.

Volume I: The Basics

If you just want to see certain file types, simply click the Just these button to the right of that entry. This will
then load that list without further prompts.

You can select multiple check boxes if you want to view Favorite Files with different file extensions. Then
select Show Filtered Favorites to see one or multiple favorite categories.

Select Show All Favorite Files to display all categories of Favorites. Note that you can also do this by selecting
List > All Favorites from the Menu.

All recent files in selected Favorites category(s) are then displayed.

Note: Clicking the Favorites icon when viewing a Favorite Files list launches the List > Selected Favorites
dialog.

6.2 Add Files to Favorites Lists

Select the file(s) to add in the file list or tile view, and then do one of the following:

§ Click the deactivated heart icon next to a file you would like to select as a favorite.

7 FOLLOW ME FAVORITES
Follow Me Favorites technology knows which files you worked on recently and then presents these choices
for quick filing and navigation. Favorite Files in Worldox are files you have recently saved or otherwise used.
The Favorite Files list is dynamic and changes as you use or no longer use certain files. As files are added to
your Favorite Files, the locations that comprise these files will now become available as Favorite Matters. The
same Favorite Matter will automatically create correlating drop folders within Microsoft Outlook as well. Your
Favorite Matters will also appear in other Worldox products such as Worldox on the iPad or iPhone,
Worldox/Web 2.0, or an MFP such as the Canon Connector or other 3rd party products that support Follow Me
Favorites.

Favorite Matters are compilations of Favorite File locations. You can view Favorite Matters in a number of
places, such as the Navigation Panel, Microsoft Outlook drop folders, and Favorite Matters tabs on certain
dialogs.

This section describes how to:

§ View the locations of Favorite Files


§ View Favorite Matters in the Navigation Panel
§ View Favorite Matters in Microsoft Outlook
§ Quickly populate form fields with Favorite Matter data in the File > Save, File > Copy and Direct Access
dialogs
§ Remove a file from Favorites

7.1 Viewing the Locations of Favorite Files

Since Favorite Matters correlate to the location of Favorite Files, it is useful to show a Location column in the
file list. You can right-click in the gray column header area of a file list and select Insert Column. This is not
required but useful in understanding how this feature works.

Then select Properties > Location from the context menu.

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 51 of 116


© Copyright 2015 World Software Corporation®. All rights reserved.
Volume I: The Basics

The file list shows Location as a column header so that you can see which Cabinets and folders your Favorite
Files are located in.

You can click the Favorite Matters tab in the Navigation Panel to compare Cabinet names and sub-folders to
those listed in the Location column within your Favorite Files list. For example, the second document in the
Favorite Files list shows “Client Files\200000\100” as the location. That location can also be seen in the
Navigation Panel’s Favorite Matters list.

7.4 Removing a File from Favorites

When you remove a file from Favorites, that file will no longer appear under Favorite Matters in your
Microsoft Outlook drop folder or in the desktop version of Worldox. As a result of Follow Me Favorites
technology, it will also be removed from any other versions of Worldox you use on an iPad, iPhone,
Worldox/Web 2.0 or a multi-function printer (MFP) such as the Canon Connector.

To remove a file from Favorite Matters, do the following:

Open the Favorites list which contains the file or files you want to remove from that list. You can select List >
All Favorites or List > Selected Favorites.

Select the file(s) to remove in the file list or tile view, and then do one of the following:

§ Click the red heart icon next to a file that you want to remove from Favorites lists. The heart icon
becomes greyed-out once it is no longer a favorite.

§ Or, right-click a red heart icon next to a file you want to remove from Favorites lists and select
Remove from my Favorites.

10 DELETE FILES
Select the file(s) you want to delete, and then select Delete from the File menu or the right-click menu in the
file list. If multiple files are selected, Worldox asks you to confirm your choice in the Clarify Selection dialog.

Next you see the File > Delete dialog. What you see here depends on your user rights and upon how Worldox
is set up at your site.

§ Delete to delete the file from the list


§ Move to Salvage Bin to place the file into the Worldox Salvage Bin, where files are placed upon
deletion. From that folder, deleted files can be restored by Worldox Administrators. You may or may
not see this option.
§ Shred (unrecoverable). Administrators can totally delete the file from the system if they are certain it
is no longer needed. You may or may not see this option.

All versions of the deleted files – if any of those files have multiple versions – are also deleted.

11 EDIT PROFILES
If you want to modify the profile information of a file without making changes to the document itself, you can
edit the profile. The Edit Profile feature also makes it possible for you to move the file to another location if
you change the fields that affect where it is stored (for example, Client/Matter).

Select the file(s) you want to edit, then click Profile Edit on the toolbar or select Profile from the Edit
menu. If multiple files are selected, Worldox asks you to confirm your choice in the Clarify Selection dialog.

Note: If you are doing multiple files you are profiling them all to same Cabinet and with the same Profile
Fields.

Next you see the Edit Profile dialog.

Edit Profile dialog

In multiple-file editing, Worldox uses asterisks (*) as wildcards in all but the first field, as in the example
below. You can change one or more fields, which then apply to all files. Any fields not changed maintain the
original values for selected files in those fields. That is what the asterisks do, in effect telling Worldox to “use
the original value of that source file in this field”.

Tip: You can also edit the document profile by clicking the Profile tab at the bottom of the main Worldox
screen. That opens the Profile document tab, where certain profile elements can be changed.

12 DOCUMENT SECURITY
Worldox security allows you to hide files completely from other users, so they do not even see those files on
file lists. You can also make a file read-only or assign specific rights to certain users only. The individual who
applies security to a file maintains security control of that file unless they assign similar rights to others.

12.1 Apply Security to a File

Select the file(s) you want to secure, then click in the toolbar, or select Security from the File
menu. If multiple files are selected, Worldox asks you to confirm your choice in the Clarify Selection dialog.

Next you see the Security Classifications dialog.

Select the security to apply to this file.

§ Choose Custom - Define rights by Groups/Users to assign specific rights to certain users only.
§ Choose Hidden – Invisible to everyone else if you do not want any other user to see the file.
§ Choose Protected – Read Only to everyone else if you want to make the file read-only. This allows
other users to view but not to edit the file.

If you choose the second or third option – or any security group listed below those three options – Worldox
confirms this action in the File > Security dialog. Click OK.

If you choose that Custom - Define rights by Groups/Users option, the File Security dialog opens.

rights that user(s) have to the file are shown. When Show Blocked is selected, the rights that user(s)
do not have are shown.
§ To add customized rights for a group, click Add Group. In the Add Groups dialog, select the group or
groups who will have access, then click Select. Once added, a group has no rights automatically
granted. With this added group selected on the list, use the right-side options to grant whatever level
of access needed for the new group.

§ In a Worldox file list (internal use only): This sends a link(s) to recipients. When the link is opened,
the network copy of the document is opened. At that point, the recipient is live on the network and
not in a temporary email attachment. After making this selection, the recipient can rename the
document if necessary.
§ Compressed into a Zip file: Selecting this option compresses document(s) into a zip format (smaller
size) and attaches the zip file to an email message. You have the option to password-protect the
document for security purposes if desired.

13.2 Open an Email Link in a Worldox File List (WDL)

When the recipient clicks on the attachment in the email message, they see the Opening Mail Attachment
dialog. After selecting Open it and then clicking OK, the recipient sees the file listed in a new file list in

Worldox. The file can then be opened from there, by selecting it and clicking Open on the toolbar.

13.3 The Worldox Email Tab

Opening the Email tab changes the view. Instead of regular file lists, you see a mirror image of your supported
email program Inbox. Email is the left-most tab on the row of list tabs under the toolbar:

Accessing the Email tab

The Email tab is a permanent tab in Worldox – assuming you are using Outlook. It always appears and is the
first tab on the left side of the tab row.

The Email tab is your email Inbox, the same folders and messages seen in your email program. It works the
same way, in that new messages arrive and appear on the right-side list, and left-side folders update based on
email activity. You have the ability here to create and send new messages, and to read messages and
attachments. You can also preview email messages in Worldox Email Viewer window (which has features
similar to the Worldox document Viewer window).

Moved messages are given the.msg extension, and the original messages are moved to the deleted Items
folder in your email inbox. Messages with attachments will display as.msg with the standard paperclip
attachment icon.

Note: You cannot move items from the Deleted Items folder in Worldox, but you can
move them from the Deleted Items folder in the email Inbox.

13.3.2.1 Open a Moved Message With or Without Attachments

Moved messages reside in Worldox cabinet folders, along with other profiled documents and files.

Highlight (select) the message file in the right-side file list. Double-click to open it, or click Open on
the toolbar with that message selected, or select Open from the File menu.

The selected message then opens in the email program in which it was originally received. Attachments can
be viewed there as you customarily do in your email program. You can also view rather than open profiled

messages. Click View on the toolbar with a message selected to view it in the Worldox Viewer
window.

13.3.3 Profile an Email Message Attachment

Even if an email message is profiled, any attachments it has are not automatically profiled. You can profile
attachments separately after the email message has been profiled.

Open the email and right-click the attachment.

Select Save As from the right-click menu.

That opens the Save Attachment profile form (which is similar to the File Save form, which has options for
quick profiling, adding security, etc.)

Profile fields here fill in with the same profile used for the original email message. The Description field is
automatically filled in with the attachment’s name from the message.

Make any necessary changes to the profile information.

When you’ve entered the necessary profile information and are ready to save the attachment, click OK.

Worldox then assigns a new Doc ID to the attachment, and tell you what the Doc ID is in a Please Note
message. Click OK to acknowledge that message.

The attachment is now a separately profiled file and is automatically related (as a child) to the message, which
is the parent document.

Note: You can profile the attachment first and then profile the message. However, the
message and attachment will not be related automatically. In that case, if you want to
have them related you must do it manually.

13.4 Microsoft Outlook Drop Folders Now Automatically Correlate with Favorite Matters

Favorite Matters will automatically appear as Worldox drop folders within Microsoft Outlook. You can easily
move your incoming and outgoing emails to these folders in Outlook so that they are immediately saved into
Worldox.

13.5 Set Defaults and Manage Confirmation Dialogs for Favorite Matters Drop Folders in
Microsoft Outlook

Automatic Favorite Matter drop folders in Microsoft Outlook only contain the folder-based te fields, unlike
the Quick Profile-based drop folders which contain fully validated fields. The rest of the fields must be filled in
by the Email default Quick Profile for the selected Cabinet. You must use an email Cabinet default Quick
Profile to fill in any non-folder and non-user based fields.

You can set these Quick Profiles through Worldox when you Copy or Move emails. Worldox managers can set
a global default while users can set personal overrides.

To set the default for Favorite Matters drop folders in Microsoft Outlook, do the following.

1. In Microsoft Outlook, select an email message.


2. On the Worldox tab, click Copy or Move.

3. In the Copy Email to Worldox or Move Email to Worldox dialog, click the Quick Profiles tab.

4. Click the Add button to add a new Quick Profile.

5. Fill out any fields that are not folder or user-based since those fields will be filled in automatically. In
the following example, only the DocType (EMAIL) is filled in by default.

6. After you have completed filling in the fields, click OK. The Save Quick Profile dialog appears. Save the
Quick Profile as the Cabinet Default. This will then be used for any automatic drop folder based on the
Cabinet.

7. Now when you drag an email to an automatic drop folder from that Cabinet, you will see the Drop
Move or Drop Copy Confirmation dialog. By default, you see the Confirmation dialog for all automatic
drop folders.

8. You can select one of the following options:


§ Copy as Profiled or Move as Profiled to accept the defaults.
§ Change Profile to change the cabinet fields.
§ Cancel to cancel the copy or move action.
9. If you are satisfied with the default fields and do not want to be prompted for this Drop Copy or Move
Confirmation dialog in the future, you can check the Don’t show again option. If you select this,
emails will be copied or moved without you having to confirm the process each time. Each drop folder
is controlled independently.

Note: If you initially select the Don’t show again option and you later decide that you would like to see
the Drop Copy or Move Confirmation dialog again, you can enable the reset option from the Edit >
Preferences > Worldox dialog. Select the Confirmation Dialog Options category. For the preference
named Reset Email Drop Folder Confirmation, select Yes. This will reset ALL drop folder confirmations to
be on again. This option affects all drop folders.

13.6 Copy or Move Email

Inbound email messages typically end up in Worldox through one of two actions - via being copied or moved.

§ Copying emails creates copies of the messages (and attachments) which are then profiled and stored
in Worldox. The originals stay in your email inbox.
§ Moving emails relocates messages (and attachments) into Worldox, removing the originals from your
email inbox.

You can copy or move emails from the Email tab within Worldox or directly from Outlook.

Tip: WorkZone is a drag-and-drop alternative to copying email and other files. Documents profiled this way
are in effect copied into Worldox. The best practice is to use Copy / Move buttons for drop folders located in
Outlook.

13.6.1 Copy email from inside Worldox on the Email tab

15 COMMENTS IN LISTS
As a file is saved, users can enter notes in the Description field on the File Save profile form. Comments can
later be added to files by editing document profiles, or by selecting files, then adding comments in the
Comments document tab at the bottom of the main screen.

Up to 5,000 characters of comments can be added. File comments then appear on file lists, in file listings.
Having comments display this way makes lists longer, so Worldox gives you the ability to turn this comment
display feature on and off.

When Comments in List is toggled on, comments in a document (if any) are displayed in blue below the file in
question.

Viewing file comments in a file list

The Comments in List toolbar button allows you to turn comment display on and off. The other
way to do that is by selecting Show/Hide > Comments in List from the Display menu. Using the Profile tab at

18 CUSTOMIZE COLUMN LAYOUTS


While you are in a list view, you can customize Worldox column layouts in several ways. You can:

§ Add or remove columns.

§ Resize columns, change column order.

§ Save current list layout (all display settings, including column arrangement) as a style.

§ Save current column arrangement as a column template.

18.1 Add Columns

With the file list visible on the Worldox main screen, left-click anywhere in the grey area next to column
headers:

Left-clicking next to column headers to add a column

Select the column you want to add from the left-click menu. (Checkmarks indicates which columns already
appear on the list.)

18.2 Rearrange Columns

With the file list visible on the Worldox main screen, click the text header of the column you want to move
and hold the mouse button down. To move the column, click and hold on the text of the column until the
hand cursor grabs it. If you want to change the size the column, click and hold the far right edge first and then
re-size it.

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 103 of 116

Volume I: The Basics

18.3 Remove Columns

There are two ways to remove a column.

With the file list visible on the Worldox main screen, click the text header of the column you want to remove,
and hold the mouse button down. Drag it off the Worldox window and release the mouse. That removes the
column.

You can also right-click the header of the column, then select Remove Column from the right-click menu.

Right-clicking on a column header to remove that column

18.4 Resize Column Headers

With the file list visible on the Worldox main screen, move the mouse cursor over the right edge of the header
for the column being resized. The little hand cursor changes to a bracket shape. You can then click and drag to
one side or the other to resize the column.

18.5 Save the Column Layout as a “Template”

Column templates are saved file list settings, columns, column order and size, also list sort. You can save the
unique layout of any one list as a column template, and then apply it to other file lists.

First arrange the file list however you would like it to appear.

Right-click any column header, and then select Save Column Template from the right-click menu. That opens
the Save Column Template dialog.

Volume I: The Basics

Save Column Template dialog

The Template Name field fills in with names of the columns shown on the list. Type in a descriptive name for
this template, and then click OK.

Note: Worldox Managers have the ability here to save the template as public (for everyone) or for a custom
set of users. Non-Managers do not see this choice, and can only create personal bookmarks.

That saves the column template.

18.6 Reuse a Column Template for Another File List

When you want to use a column template for other file lists, right-click any column header, then select Open
Column Template from the right-click menu.

18.7 Set a Favorite View

Saving a favorite view makes a persistent change to how a certain type of list or tile view looks. Unlike column
templates, setting a favorite view can include other display settings – not just how columns are arranged – as
part of the saved layout. Also, there is only one favorite view saved for any one list type (e.g., folder list,
search results). As you save a new favorite view for a given list type, it replaces the last one saved.

In a list or tile view, arrange the file list however you want it.

Left-click the Customize button and select Make this my favorite view.

19 SORT/FILTER LISTS IN THE FILE LIST VIEW

19.1 Sort Lists

Sorting is the process of rearranging file list items to make scanning the list easier. If you are not in the file list

view, click the Switch to list view button. Simple sorts can be done by clicking and re-
clicking column headers on file lists. (For details about sorting in the tile view, see Change File Sorting in the
Tile View.)

If you click a column header in the file list, the initial sort order is signaled by small up or down arrows. Here a
list is sorted in ascending order on the Description column:

Default, ascending sort order

Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide: The Basics 106 of 116

Volume I: The Basics

Ascending means starting at one and going down to ten, or at A, going down to Z. Click once on the
Description header to reverse that, re-sorting it descending:

A Presorted list, now in descending order

Clicking any other column heading re-sorts the file list ascending based on the contents of that column.

19.1.1 Using the Sort menu

You can also specify sort order – even multiple sort order – in the Sort menu.

With the file list to be sorted visible, right-click any column header in the list to view sorting and viewing
options.

19.2 Filter Lists

19.2.1 Filters Document Tab

The Filters document tab at the bottom of the main screen offers a visual way to see how information
elements are represented in the visible file list, and gives you a way to filter files based on those visual “tags”.

With the file list to be filtered visible, click the Filters or tab at the bottom of the screen to
open the Filters document tab. Here is an example of how that tab looks:

Viewing data distribution in a file list, using the Filters document tab

Tags are simply visual cues about what is in the list. Larger font sizes indicate more occurrences, down to the
least number of hits indicated by items shown in the smallest font.

Tip: Some profile identifiers are numbered here; these correspond to numbered fields on profile forms.

The Filter List button controls when filtering happens. It is on (depressed) by default, meaning
successive filter choices immediately filter the list above. Click this button once to turn it off, so multiple filters
can be set before filtering.

Each line item (starting with a plus or minus symbol) represents a specific type of profile information.

To include files in any one category with the identifier(s) you are about to select, make sure the plus
symbol is selected next to that category. (Click the symbol to change it.)

To exclude files in any one category with the identifier(s) you are about to select, make sure the minus
symbol is selected next to that category. (Click the symbol to change it.)

In a category, select an item by which to filter the list.

Roll the mouse over the item you want to filter by. A highlight and checkbox appears:

Volume I: The Basics

Check the box to select that item. Set any additional filters necessary.

If the file list does not filter automatically, click Filter List to filter.

The underlying file list then reloads to show only those files remaining after filtering.

20 WORKZONE
WorkZone allows you to save and profile any file object from your Windows desktop or application that
supports drag and drop actions (for example, Windows Explorer). Any file profiled with WorkZone becomes
searchable using Worldox search tools, including full text searching. The WorkZone is activated by dragging
and dropping any item (email message, attachment, graphic file, Word document, et al.) to the WorkZone
icon.

Tip: You can open the Worldox main windows by double-clicking the WorkZone icon.

WorkZone icon on your Windows desktop

20.1 Create and Save WorkZone Profiles

You can drag almost any type of file from an application – or from the desktop itself – to the WorkZone icon.
The following example shows that a file is being dragged from a desktop to the WorkZone icon.

Drag, and then drop the file on the WorkZone icon on your Windows desktop

Note: If you drag an Email that contains an attachment(s), the attachment will be
contained in the profiled Email message.

Drag a file item to the WorkZone icon. When the icon changes color, release the mouse button. Worldox
responds by opening the WorkZone Save As profile form in Worldox. (This form is identical to the File Save
form.)

Enter any profile information necessary to identify the file being saved.

§ Favorite Matters and Quick Profiles are available here, and can be created in the same manner as
described for document profiling. Select a quick profile or Favorite Matter on the form to load it. That
fills in some or all of the form fields.
§ The Description field fills in with the file name. If more than one file is being profiled, no Description
field appears here.

21 WORKING OFF-LINE
Working without a network connection is considered “working off-line”. Users may be at home with their
laptops or possibly in the office without a network connection due to special circumstances. Any checked-out
documents (saved to a local “mirror” folder) will still be available to you.

Any files created off-line are saved and profiled as you normally would. These files too are saved to the local
mirror folder, and are available to you while you are offline.

TIP: To see if Worldox is working off-line, just look down at the bottom right of your screen. The symbol in the
Windows System Tray has a large X through it when Worldox is off-line.

21.1 How to Access Off-line Documents

Documents that you have saved and/or created recently while off-line can be located in Worldox in your off-
line folders. The following steps show how to locate these documents to work on during a network outage.

On the Worldox main screen, click Cabinets to open the folder tree in the navigation panel.
Click down to where you know those saved files are located, within the Off-Line folder.

Open the folder where your recent documents would have been saved to.

You can edit the document or save the document as new. You CANNOT make a version of a document
off-line.

Documents that will be accessible in off-line folders can also be located by entering the document number on
the Location toolbar, or by using Direct Access.

Note: Direct Access and the Location bar can locate only off-line files when there is no network access. All
other Worldox-managed documents are not accessible again until the network connection is restored.

When you reconnect to the network you will be prompted by Worldox to check in any documents checked
out or created while off-line. Simply check in files as described in Worldox GX4 Professional User Guide:
Advanced Topics.
