Docuverse is a navigational tool within CASCADE and is accessed through the Navigation menu which is located on the main menu bar at the top of the main CASCADE window. After selecting Docuverse from the Navigation menu a Docuverse dialog window will be displayed containing seven components. The seven components are a Project Space panel on the right, a File List panel on the left, a an attribute drop down box , a color scale, a current folder panel, a zoom slider and a rotate slider.

First a description of the Docuverse dialog window components:

Project Space panel	This is the heart of the Docuverse tool and visually represents all documents which were created in CASCADE using the Create Document function located in the Main menu. It is centrally located just to the right of the color scale. Files other than CASCADE files within your project will not be displayed.
File List panel	This is the rectangular panel situated at the left side of the dialog window. It Lists the files within the current folder along with the attribute color box and the exact value associated with the attribute color. The exact value of the attribute color is found by scrolling the File List thumb to the right until the values can be seen. For a quick approximation of the value of the attribute color use the color scale located between the File List panel and the Project Space panel.
Attributes
Age	Age of the file in days
File Size	Size of the file in bytes
Last Access Date	Number of days since the file was accessed
Last Comment Date	Number of days since a comment was made in the file
Last Modification Date	Number of days since the content of the file was modified
#Accesses	Number of times the file was accessed
#Comments	Number of comments within the file
#Minutes Accessed	Number of minutes that the file has been accessed
#Modifications	Number of modifications that have been made to the file
Color Scale	Vertically located in the center of the dialog window it displays the range of colors and color values associated with the various attributes.
Current folder panel	Displays the path to the current folder for which files are being displayed in the File List panel.
Zoom	Zoom in: Move slider to the right Zoom out: Move slider to the left
Rotate	Rotate Clockwise: Move slider to the left Rotate Counter-Clockwise: Move slider to the right

When you first open Docuverse, the Project Space is represented as a circle with zero or more layers representing folders of the project. Multiple folders on the same layer are shown as sections bounded by black lines. The current folder is designated with a red boundary and any files within the current folder are shown in the File List, in addition the current folder panel shows the path to the folder. Docuverse always opens with the root of the project as the current folder and as you will notice the center of the Project Space is the root of the project. Files within Docuverse are represented as small color coded rectangles where the file color represents the value of the attribute shown in the attribute drop down box and corresponds to the color scale located in the center of the dialog window. For a quick estimate of the value associated with the file color just match the file color with the colors in the color scale and judge its value based on the values shown on the scale. To view the exact value of the file color just scroll the File List thumb to the right until the numbers are visible and note the value associated with the file in question.

To move to a folder just click inside the folder which will change the folder boundary to red, display any files within the folder in the File List and display the path to the folder in the current folder panel. You may view only the current folder by double-clicking inside the current folder which will display its files and a gray up-arrow at the center of the folder which when double-clicked will move up one layer. If you are several folders deep and wish to return to the root and there is a gray up-arrow at the center of the folder just continually double-click the up-arrow until you are at the root. Otherwise, double-click on the nearest layer to the root and then double-click the gray up-arrow to return to the root.
