This topic is only intended for users upgrading from Globodox version 4.x or earlier
 

Below is a screenshot of the Invoice DB, one of the two sample DBs available with the doQuments Enterprise Edition.

 
The doQuments Main Window consisted of the following sections:

•The Command Panel: It consisted of the menus as well as the toolbars. The toolbars contained buttons which gave you quick access to the commonly used features and commands of doQuments.
•The Data Panel: It displayed the data of every field defined in the currently open doQuments DB.
•The Document List Panel: It displayed the list of documents which were associated with the current record.
•The Preview Panel: It displayed the details or the preview of the currently selected document in the document list.

 
In doQuments, we saved every document and the indexing data in a record. The user-interface of a record contained the Preview Panel, the Documents List Panel and Indexing Data Panel where the indexing fields were located.

Once the Invoice DB has been upgraded using the DB upgrade utility, you can open it Invoice DB in Globodox. If you wish to convert your DB then contact us at support@itaz.com.

When you start Globodox, a login box will appear. The default username and password to login to Globodox is superadmin.

To open a DB...

1.In Globodox, click the Globodox button.
2.The Globodox DB List will be displayed.
3.Select the Invoice DB from the list to open it.

 


 

Globodox has a completely re-designed user interface. The Globodox Main Window consists of the following sections:

•Ribbon bar: The menus and toolbars have been replaced with a single Ribbon bar. The Ribbon bar is divided into tabs (Home and Tools), which group related features together. (It is similar to the Command Panel of doQuments)
•Navigation Pane: The Navigation pane appears on the left side of Globodox window. It gives you quick access to all the documents and data in your DB as well as the various settings for your DB. The Navigation pane contains navigation groups (e.g. Workplace, Settings) which in turn contain navigation nodes (e.g. All Documents, Folders). Selecting a navigation node displays the related information in the list view.
•List View Pane: This pane lists items related to the navigation item selected in the Navigation pane.
•Preview Pane: It displays the details or the preview of the currently selected document in the List View Pane.

 
In Globodox, records are now known as Stacks. When your upgrade your doQuments DB to Globodox DB, all the records of that DB will be converted to Stacks and will be displayed in the "Records" Stack Type. If you want to view your "Records" stacks, then click the Stack Types node in the navigation pane and select the "Records" Stack Type. All you records/stacks will now be displayed in the List View Pane.

You can double-click a Stack displayed in the List View Pane to open it in its own window.
