List View and Tile View
You can display your library either in the original list view or in the tile view. To toggle between the two views click on the icon to the left of select all:
The selected view option will turn red when active. Clicking on the four squares will toggle the tile view. Clicking on the three links will toggle the list view.
List View: The original view. Creates a lists of titles with title cover, title, publisher, rule system, and then status icon
Tile View: Displays a large icon of the title cover, status icon is in the center, and at the bottom is title, publisher and rule system information.
Sorting your library
You can sort your library by purchase date, title, publisher, or rule system in either descending (Z - A) or ascending (A - Z) order . Just click on the sorting option drop down located between select all and the search (there will be an icon with an arrow pointing down next to a list of lines), and then select the option you want to use to sort.
Keyword Search
It is possible to search for titles by keyword(s). The app will only display titles that have a match in their title, publisher or rule system to the keyword(s) that was entered in the search bar.
At this time the search function is limited and behaves similar to the search of My Library. It will search for matches that are exactly in the same order as what the keywords were typed in.
Example if you searched for White Wolf, then the library will be filtered to show titles that White Wolf is the publisher of. But if you searched for Whitewolf then, titles with White Wolf as the publisher will not appear in the results.
Collections
Collections are groups of titles in your library. There are four default collections (All, Downloaded, Not Downloaded, and Has Updates), plus the ability to make as many custom collections as you would like to sort your library to fit your needs.
Collections will only sort and organize your library view in the app. It will not sort or order your actual files on your device.
A title can be placed in multiple collections.
A collection can have any number of titles in it.
Collections are stored as part of your online library information. If you create or update a collection on one device, you can use Sync library data to update your custom collections on your other devices.
The Collection menu can be accessed by clicking on the button with the folder icon.
On the main library view it will have the name of the selected collection. The number in the parentheses on the right side of the collection name is the total number of titles in that collection.
- The main library menu is limited to creating, deleting and renaming collections
- When a collection is selected from the drop down in the main library view the app will only show the titles that are contained in that collection.
