Efficiently navigating a large document can be key to a streamlined workflow. In Casedo, the ‘Go to page’ feature allows quick and easy navigation from either of the Document Views.
How to use the Go to page feature
Switch on Pagination
Casedo can’t take you to a particular page unless the pagination is switched on. To do this, you need to turn the pagination on one of three ways:
- Go to the Edit Menu and select Pagination On/Off
- Use the shortcut command CTRL + K (on Windows) or CMD + K (on Mac)
- Use the toggle switch in the bottom left hand corner of the UI.
When the toggle is orange, the pagination is on.
Once enabled the Go to page option will appear is located at the top left of each of the Document View windows:
Enter the page number you want to go to
Choose the Document View (green or purple) that you want the page to appear in and write in the Go to page box page number you are looking to see, this could be in a number of ways:
- A simple number if there is no complex pagination in place, e.g. ‘268’
- A number prefixed by a letter if folder-based pagination is in place, e.g. ‘D268’
- A ‘point’ number if a document has been paginated as an insert, e.g. ‘268.12’
- A combination of points 2 and 3 above, e.g. ‘D268.12’
How Go to page works
The way that Casedo works throws up a couple of interesting quirks.
When using folder-based pagination Casedo does not paginate documents that are not in a folder, this is by design. So if you have folder-based pagination enabled you cannot navigate to a page that is not in a folder.
Whilst this may seem obvious, what is less obvious is that when you set a pagination type in Casedo, the pagination type is set for both the Index and the Desk Space, they cannot be paginated differently.
This means that you will get an ‘Unable to find page’ error when
- you have folder-based pagination enabled and you are searching for a document that is not in a folder, ie. searching for a page number such as ‘268’ instead of a prefixed number such as ‘A268’.
- the opposite is true and you are searching for a prefixed number such as ‘A268’ when folder-base pagination is not enabled.
Why is this a quirk when it’s just that the page doesn’t exist in the above examples? The reason is that many users use folder-based pagination, but they tend not to have documents in the Desk Space in a folder. This is when errors occur.
TIP – if you use folder-based pagination as standard, create a folder in the Desk Space (call it Holding or some such?) and put all documents in there.
Quirks of the feature
The above might sound like an odd question, but it isn’t when you remember that Casedo has two areas to keep your documents, the Index and the Desk Space. Because the Desk Space is designed to be a holding area for your documents, Casedo paginates them separately, so, if there are documents kept in the Desk Space, there will be, across the whole Casedo casefile, two page number 1s, 2s and 3s etc.
To save confusion when using Go to page, Casedo will search within whichever area the Document View is currently in.
In other words, if the purple Document View is showing a document that is in the Index, the purple Go to page option will only search within the Index. If the document was in the Desk Space, then it would only search there.
