Browse WorkZone cases and documents

Prerequisite:

  • Browse functionality is supported from WorkZone version 2021.0.
  • The Browse module must first be enabled by your administrator in WorkZone Configurator (Configurator > Global > Feature Settings > WorkZone Mobile > Browse). See Feature Settings in WorkZone Configurator Administrator Guide.
  • You must be online to use the Browse module.
  • For case activities functionality, the Case activities module must first be enabled by your administrator in WorkZone Configurator (Configurator > Global > Feature Settings > WorkZone Mobile > Browse > Case activities).

You can quickly browse through your case lists or document lists (that is, your WorkZone lists, including predefined filters and custom filters) and view their items. See User Guide for WorkZone Client for more information about WorkZone lists.

You can search for cases and documents that are available to you in WorkZone and view their details.

  • On cases: You can view documents on the selected case, preview or edit their content (for editable documents), view case and document metadata, as well as browse through the related case activities, view their details (such as current status, descriptions, history, and comments), leave your own comments on case activities, and edit documents. See User Guide for WorkZone Client for more information about case activities.
  • On documents: You can preview or edit the documents (if they are editable), view their metadata, and navigate to the related cases to view case details and metadata.

Important:

  • To edit some document formats, you might need to install a corresponding Office app.
  • Regular WorkZone access restrictions will apply: you will only see and be able to edit the items you have access to.
