Advanced

The Advanced KwikWork configurations tab allows administrators to configure aspects of KwikWork that don't require regular updates including icons, shortcuts and other advanced features.


Icons

Icons used throughout the KwikWork UX user interface can be configured with the use of Font Awesome icon types.  The following provides information for configuring the icons within KwikWork UX.

 

Configuring Icons

Icons used in KwikWork desktops are configurable within the KwikWork Configuration Panel.  The process to update icons is outlined below.

  1. Choose the action icons that will be configured then update the value field using the desired font awesome class.  Click save to apply the change.





  2. To specify icons for various content types in KwikWork, the symbolic name of the document classes are entered in the property field, then the font awesome class of the desired icon is entered in the value field.  Click save to apply the change.  Any changes to to the content icons is overwritten by the file icons configurations.

  3. KwikWork allows custom icons to represent different stages in a document's life cycle.  The state is first entered in the property field, then the font awesome class of the desired icon is entered in the value field.  Click save to apply the change.



  4. KwikWork allows administrators to configure the color and icons for MIME types.   Specify the file extension in the 'mimetype' property, the font awesome font code for the icon, and a hex code for the color of the icon.  Click save to apply the change.

Shortcuts

The KwikWork plug-in maps keyboard shortcuts to a list of predefined actions.  Keyboard shortcut assignments are accessible from in the 'Shortcuts' section of the KwikWork Configuration Panel. 

Supported Keys

  • Usable modifier keys are shift, ctrl, alt, option, meta, and command.
  • Other special keys are backspace, tab, enter, return, capslock, esc, escape, space, pageup, pagedown, end, home, left, up, right, down, ins, and del.
  • Any other key can be referenced using its name.  For example a, /, $, *, or =

Factory Default Keyboard Shortcuts

The default installation of the KwikWork plug-in includes all controllable aspects already assigned.  The list below contains all shortcut assignments divided into three sections.

  • Navigation Shortcuts
  • Instance Shortcuts
  • Content List Shortcuts

Assigning Keyboard Shortcuts

Single Keys

To assign a single key to control an action, simply specify the name of the key in the box next to the action and then click save.  Key names should be in lowercase letters. For example 'e'

Sequence Keys

The plug-in uses a space between key names to indicate a key sequence.  For example a value of  'a b' would indicate that the keys 'a' and 'b' must be pressed in succession to trigger an action.

Shift Key

The plug-in automatically recognizes any key assignment that requires the shift key and therefore a user would not need to hold down shift to activate the feature.  The shift and non-shifted versions of the same key should therefore not be used to trigger two different features.

Advanced Features

The default tour is included and deployed in the following location on the application server: /navigator/kwcn-resources/tour/index.html.
