Setting up how ioMoVo looks and behaves

List and grid views, interface language, and customizing how folders and files appear.

Written by Zakaria Waletski

A few settings change how ioMoVo looks and behaves for you. They are personal preferences rather than administration, so changing them affects your own view and nobody else's.

List or grid

Grid suits visual content, where you recognize an image faster than you read a filename. List suits documents and anything where the metadata matters more than the thumbnail.

Most people settle into switching between the two depending on what they are looking at, rather than picking one forever.

Application language

Set the interface to your own language. Worth mentioning to anyone joining a team that works across regions, because people often assume the language they were shown on day one is the only option.

Folder and file appearance

Customizing appearance is more useful than it sounds once a library gets large. Visual distinction between folders is how you stop misfiling things, and it costs a few seconds to set up.

If your team shares a working structure, agree the convention rather than everyone inventing their own. A colour that means "in review" to one person and nothing to anyone else is wasted effort.

What these settings do not change

None of this affects what you can see or do. Access comes from your role and group membership, so changing a view never changes your permissions, and a folder you cannot see does not appear because you switched to grid.
