This document outlines an agenda for a presentation on building virtual navigation structures for the Nuxeo platform. The presentation will demonstrate how virtual navigation can help users find information more easily by organizing documents based on their properties rather than physical location. It will show how to create virtual navigation entries using documents' metadata, build listings with content views, and allow user customization through smart folders. The goal is to spend less time searching and be more productive.

9. A Document In Nuxeo
Is not « just a file »
A document contains
many properties
• meta data, grouped
into schemas
But also facets
And a life cycle
Nuxeo lets you leverage
these properties and query
through them.

13. Virtual Navigations - Principles
Virtual navigation entries search your documents
On a meta data,
By comparing it to a predefined entries list (a vocabulary)
Using virtual navigation, we don't care where the
document is located
They are created in two steps
Fetching the right documents
Displaying the results with the relevant information
17. Use Case 2/
Using Content Views To Create
Virtual Documents Listings
18. Content Views - Principles
And what if we want to show a documents listing without
having to resort to a vocabulary ? Then we can use a
content view.
Content views are everywhere into the platform
Content views display the result of a query
23. Smart Folders - Principles
Their goal ?
• Generating a dynamic documents listing
• Based on the meta data filled for a document
Smart folders combine :
A document's meta data
And a content view
