Navigation pane and lists
Navigation pane
The navigation pane contains some of the most commonly used lists and your own saved searches. These lists are defined and configured on WorkZone Content Server. You can hide the navigation pane by clicking the arrow at the upper-right corner of the navigation pane.
By default, the navigation pane displays the following panes:
- Dashboard
- Cases
- Documents
- Contacts
- Other
Manage panes
You can add, reorder, or remove panes from the navigation pane.
- On the Home tab, click Configure navigation in the top right area of the navigation pane.
- Select the needed action:
- Add a new pane: At the top of the navigation pane, click Add new pane. In the Add pane dialog, provide a name, and click Save.
- Rename a pane: Click on the pane that you want to rename. In the Rename pane dialog, provide a new name, and click Save.
- Reorder panes: Drag and drop the pane that you want to move.
- Remove a pane: Click on the pane that you want to remove. Click Remove pane, and then click Yes.
Note: You can only remove the panes that have been added by you.
Lists
Each pane in the navigation pane contains additional standard lists. For example, the Cases pane displays the following lists by default:
- Open cases
- Cases with reminders
- Open cases on the unit
- Cases on the unit with no case handler
- Cases with no case handler and unit
- Favorite cases
When you click one of these lists, the search for that list is performed automatically, and the result is displayed on your dashboard. You can perform additional actions on the search results using the buttons on the ribbon.
Tip:
- Double-click the title of a list to open that list in a new tab.
- Add more lists or change the order of existing panes as needed. For example, you can add such lists, as your Followed cases, Reading list cases, and Changed documents to the navigation pane.
The list menu
Right-click a list item to open the list menu with all actions you can apply to the selected list item (or to several list items, if you have selected multiple list elements). Actions in the list menu are grouped by their functionality.
Tip:
- All actions in the list menu are also available as buttons on the main ribbon or the detail tab ribbon.
- List menu actions that are not relevant for the current selection or require the affected columns to be displayed in the list are displayed as inaccessible.
- The list menu will not be displayed for the lists that do not have at least one item.

Preview |
Open a preview pane with additional information, such as documents and parties, for the selected case or meeting. |
Explore |
Open a case as a folder in WorkZone Explorer and see the contents of a case. Due to the security model of the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium browsers, the Windows File Explorer will not open automatically when you click the Explore button. Instead, you must open the Windows File Explorer manually and then press CTRL+V in the address bar to open the Explorer for the active case. If you are using the Microsoft Edge browser, you must be signed in to the WorkZone IdentityServer to enable integration to the Windows File Explorer. During the sign-in, you can select the Keep me signed in check box to remain being signed in. However, you may be required to sign in again later, if the persistent cookie storage expires. If WorkZone Explorer has been deactivated, the Explore button will not be displayed, regardless of which web browser is used. WorkZone Explorer can be activated and deactivated by a system administrator in WorkZone Configurator > Global > Feature Settings > Client > Explore. |
