Directory listing

The directory listing displays information about the objects in a directory and provides access to subdirectories, symbolic links, and object versions.

The Namespace Browser displays up to 100 entries at a time. If a directory has more than 100 entries, you can use the Previous and Next buttons to page through the directory to see all its contents.

Click on any column heading to sort the listing by the column values. Clicking on a heading alternately sorts in ascending and descending order.

The table below describes the information shown for each item in the directory listing.

Icon/property Description
Type icon

An icon indicating the item type:

Directory

Object or symbolic link

Deleted object

Click on the icon to display the directory contents, view or retrieve the object, or read through the symbolic link. Clicking on the icon for a deleted object has no effect.

For more information, see Viewing and retrieving object and version content.

Action icon

A control for deleting an object or symbolic link. This icon appears only if the item can be deleted. For more information, see Deleting objects and symbolic links.

A control for listing object versions. This icon appears if versioning is enabled for the namespace. For more information, see Listing object versions.

Name

The name of the item. If deleted objects are displayed, their names are crossed-out.

Click on the name to display the directory contents, view or retrieve the object, or read through the symbolic link. For more information, see Viewing and retrieving object and version content.

Owner

The user that owns the object, if any.

Domain

If the object is owned by an Active Directory user, the AD domain in which the user account for the object owner is defined.

Size

The object size, in bytes.

Retention

The retention setting as a date and time or as a special value such as Deletion Allowed.

Retention Class

The retention class name, if any.

Ingested

The date and time the object was added to the namespace.

Metadata

A representation of the state of the object metadata:

The object is on hold.

The object will be shredded when it’s deleted.

The object is marked for indexing.

The object has one or more annotations. Clicking on this icon displays a list of annotations. You can then click on the name of an annotation to view its contents.

The object has an ACL. Click on this icon to view the ACL.

DPL

The data protection level.

Hash (algorithm-name)

Hash information for the object. Move the mouse over the View Hash link to display the hash value. You can then highlight the value and copy it to the clipboard.

Note: By default, when you click on an object or custom metadata icon in the Namespace Browser, the object content or custom metadata is displayed in the browser window, if possible. If the object content or custom metadata contains a script that can be executed by that browser, that script is executed. If this is an issue for you, ask your tenant administrator about having the display behavior changed.

Tip: You can use the view-source option in the web browser to see the XML for the Namespace Browser page. For information on this XML, see Listing directory contents.
