Grid & List Views

Overview#

Grid & List Views let you switch how the knowledge base displays sources. Use the visual grid to browse thumbnails or swap to a compact list when you need detailed metadata.

When to Use It#

• Scanning folders and sources visually while onboarding new teammates
• Sorting columns by newest upload or status in the list view
• Switching between presentation-friendly grid mode and data-dense list mode

Key Benefits#

• Flexible browsing — choose the layout that fits the task at hand
• Metadata access — list view exposes additional columns like status and updated time
• Consistency — toggle options stay available regardless of filters or folders

How to Use#

1. Open the Knowledge Base tab.
2. Locate the view toggle buttons near the top-right corner of the content area.
3. Click the grid icon for card view or the list icon for table view.
4. The selection persists while browsing, so continue filtering or adding sources as needed.

Notes & Tips#

• Use grid view when presenting the knowledge base to stakeholders; it emphasizes visuals.
• Switch to list view before bulk maintenance tasks so you can sort and scan metadata quickly.
• The chosen layout is remembered on reload, so pick the view that best matches your daily workflow.

FAQ#

Does switching views change the underlying data?#

No. The toggle only affects presentation. All filters and sources remain the same.

Can I customize which columns appear in list view?#

Columns are pre-defined today. Use filters to narrow information instead.

Why are some cards blank in grid view?#

Sources without thumbnails (like text entries) display a default icon. Add logos or images to folders if you want more visual cues.
