My Nodes
Within the main Metamation work frame, displayed either from the home page or the "nodal display", the screen is initially divided into sections for different types of information including Alerts (actions you need to carry out), Documents, Data and Metrics.
The Nodal area of the display shows storage Nodes which are of interest to you. The nodes listed will depend on the level of access you have been granted, the node filter you have applied and the view currently in place. Depending on your configuration, the term Nodes may be called something else, such as folders, directories or stores.
At the top of the "My Nodes" display, a drop down list is available to control the nodes you want to see. The options available will vary depending on your security level and the view currently present, but will include:
Nodes I can access - Lists nodes you can access, which will be your own nodes (you control), children of those nodes, plus any nodes which you have been given access to Nodes I Own or control - Lists storage nodes owned by you. To the right of the nodes filter, another drop down list allows you to filter on the types of nodes to be displayed. These two filters can be combined to quick filter down to the storage nodes of interest.
At the bottom of the "My Nodes" portion of the work area, a "NEW" button is available to allow the creation of new storage nodes.
Within the list of nodes on the display, the node reference numbers, description, type and status will be displayed. You can select any line with the mouse pointer to jump into the node (for the nodal view) of documents and data within the node. When the mouse pointer is left over any of these node properties, where held against a node, the node synopsis is displayed in a hovering window.
To the right of the other node information, various icons are displayed allowing activity to be performed on the node. The icons displayed and available will vary depending on the node type, your security level and the status of the node. The following options are generally available:
 - This displays the graphical hierarchy of the nodal structure, starting at the selected node, allowing a view of sub and linked nodes
 - Displays the properties of the Node, including the synopsis, icon and relationship with other stores
 - This allows you to add the storage node onto your favourites list
 - Once the node is a favourite, this removes the node from your favourites list
 - The sends a status update request to all child nodes of the selected node
 - This updates the current status of the selected node, and allows status reports to be compiled.
 - Grants access to the specified node to other users. Where the icon is shown in red, Grants for the selected node are already in place
My Nodes - Nodes I control
When viewing the documents of interest in the Metamation repository in the home pages My Nodes panel , the nodes listed can be filtered by the status and access of the storage nodes. The Nodes I Control filter shows only those nodes which you control. To the right of the nodes filter, another drop down list allows you to filter on the types of nodes to be displayed. These two filters can be combined to quick filter down to the storage nodes of interest.

My Nodes - Nodes I have access to
When viewing the documents of interest in the Metamation repository in the home pages My Nodes panel , the nodes listed can be filtered by the status and access of the storage nodes.
The Nodes I have access to filter shows not only the nodes which you control, but also all nodes below these controlled nodes, and all nodes that other people have granted you access to.
To the right of the nodes filter, another drop down list allows you to filter on the types of nodes to be displayed. These two filters can be combined to quick filter down to the storage nodes of interest.
