Explorer

Explorer provides comprehensive, module-by-module control over your digital assets. It offers the most detailed and granular management experience, perfect for organizing and maintaining your digital life systematically.

Oddapy Explorer

Each module opens in the Content Area, your primary workspace for detailed asset management. The interface presents your assets in clear, organized layouts that adapt to each module's unique needs. View your assets in list when performing bulk operations, browse Albums in waterfall layouts, or explore your asset in good old card layout.

The Filter Bar provides sophisticated filtering capabilities within each module. Apply multiple filter conditions simultaneously to narrow down large asset collections. Filter by tags, folders, priority levels, or status conditions. These precise filters help you locate specific assets quickly, even in extensive collections.

Explorer excels at bulk operations and detailed editing. Select multiple assets for batch actions like tagging, moving to folders, or status updates. It serves power users who need comprehensive control over their digital organization. Whether you're conducting regular maintenance, reorganizing folder structures, or performing detailed asset reviews, Explorer provides the tools and workspace for thorough digital management.

The Content Area is the primary workspace in Oddapy, where all your owned assets are displayed in an organized and intuitive way.

What Happens in the Content Area?

  • Displays assets from selected modules (Goals, Notes, Shopping List, Bookmarks, Albums and Documents).
  • Supports multiple view modes to customize how assets appear:
    • Card View: Large, cover-photo-based cards with name for a visual experience.
    • Waterfall View: A cascading, dynamic layout that prioritizes visuals.
    • List View: A compact, simplified way to browse assets efficiently.
  • Filters and sorts assets based on criteria set in the Filter Bar.
  • Allows you to edit, manage, share, and perform bulk actions on assets easily.

Cards per Row

You can set the number of cards displayed per row using the Explorer Menu. However, your chosen setting may adjust automatically to maintain Oddapy’s visual standards. For example, each card has a minimum width requirement of 300 pixels—so if your screen width is 1280 pixels and you select 5 cards per row, Oddapy will instead show 4 cards per row to ensure clear and optimal viewing.

Interaction with the Assets

When you hover the mouse pointer on an asset on a computer or tap on an asset on a mobile device, the information overlayer appears. It contain all the command you need to manage an asset. It look like as follows:

Information overlay

Commands on Information Overlayer

[uiicon_open_external] Opens the asset in a new browser window if it contains URL.
[uiicon_unhide] View asset details, files, tags, and sharing history.
[uiicon_favorite] Mark/unmark as a favorite (toggling command).
[uiicon_share] Share with Contacts or Groups.
Opens the Asset Context Menu.

Commands in the Asset Context Menu

[uiicon_edit] Modify asset details.
[uiicon_tag] Add/update tags for categorization.
[uiicon_calendar_plus] Schedule assets in the Calendar (e.g., reading time for bookmarks, planning tasks).
[uiicon_lock] Prevent further edits (toggling command).
[uiicon_archive] Move to the archive for a clutter-free workspace (toggling command).
[uiicon_delete] Permanently remove the asset.
[uiicon_download] Retrieve files attached to the asset.
[uiicon_close] Remove the asset from your list if you are the Owner by Share.
🚨 Important

Toggling commands are those that can have opposing state. For example, an asset can be made Favorite. Once made, it can only be made unfavorite. So, Favorite is a toggling command.

Bulk Actions

You can interact with multiple asset by enabling multiple selection. Tap the [uiicon_select] button to enable multi-selection in the Explorer Menu. You can select individual items by ticking the check box on the top-left corner of each asset or select all items by ticking the checkbox on the Navigation Bar.

Multiple selected items in Explorer

Notice all the commands are same as described above. It does have some additional commands like [uiicon_unfavorite], [uiicon_unlock] and [uiicon_unarchive]. These are toggling commands. This is because, different items can different current status. So all the commands are available.

🚨 Important

In the List View mode, these actions are available via the (Context Menu) next to each asset.
