About Filing

When no external store is available or the value of the

doCardRouting

slot

is

nil

, the system displays the simplified version of the Filing slip shown in

Figure 15-4.

Figure 15-4

Filing slip without external store

This simplified version of the Filing slip does not include the buttons that allow
the user to choose a store. Note that the string labelling the group of buttons
representing filing categories differs slightly in this version of the Filing slip. This
string is provided by an

appObjectFileThisIn

slot that your application’s base

view supplies.

Regardless of other options you may have implemented, the Filing slip always
opens with the current filing category selected; for example, the

'

business

folder is selected in Figure 15-4. If you include a non-

nil

dontStartWithFolder

slot in your target view, the Filing slip opens with no

default folder selected. This feature is intended for use when you cannot
necessarily determine a useful default filing category, such as when the target view
is an overview that displays the contents of multiple folders.

When the value of the

doCardRouting

slot is the

'onlyCardRouting

symbol,

the Filing slip does not include the filing category buttons but allows the user to
move the target between available stores without changing its filing category.
Figure 15-5 shows the Filing slip when an external store is available and the value
of the target view’s

doCardRouting

slot is the

'onlyCardRouting

symbol.
