Understanding the Nuxeo document concept

A Document In Nuxeo

Is not « just a file »

A document contains many properties

• meta data, grouped into schemas

But also facets

And a life cycle

Nuxeo lets you leverage these properties and query through them.

Virtual Navigations - Principles

Virtual navigation entries search your documents On a meta data, By comparing it to a predefined entries list (a vocabulary)

Using virtual navigation, we don't care where the document is located

They are created in two steps Fetching the right documents Displaying the results with the relevant information
