All the repository nodes may be displayed in the default or data view. For node types, that don't have a specific view, this will be the only way to display the node. For other node types, this can be done in use case Change the view of a page.

The default view shows the attributes of the node as two tables:

  1. The properties table displays the properties of the node.
  2. The child nodes table displays the child nodes.

In addition, there is

  • An action menu, that allows the most often and most basic actions on the node:
    • Create new nodes. This includes new folder nodes, file nodes, HTML nodes, new template nodes and any node editable by a template node.
    • Move and Copy. This will allow to move or copy the node to a new destination.
    • Import and Export. Export will copy the content of the node to some local file, optionally including all subnodes. Import is the reverse operation, i.e. it will use the local file to add the node and its optional subnodes to the current node.
    • Remove. This will remove the node and all child nodes.
  • A toolbar with icons for less frequent actions, e.g.
    • Create a printable version.
    • Show the versions of the node, if it is a versionable node.
    • Show the references to the node.
    • Text search.
