Improve the user interface of portal
The user interface of portal looks if somebody tested it with only a handfull of documents and it seems that the property values tested with are rather than short.
Currently:
Property values longer than n characters are only shown with few characters. So its more or less a guess which documents to select.
Columns are not sortable
All user actions like add to clipboard, edit metadata, download documents, download metadata, etc. are only for the list of documents that is currently shown to the user. The max amount is 20 items.
In the clipboard it is only possible to go to next page not to the last page.
In the clip board the user is not aware how many pages do exist. For 200 documents the user has to click 11 times to figure out that there are ten pages.
New documents must be uploaded first, then it is possible to download a spreadsheet that contains the internal doc id of the portal to identify the document. Nobody works that way.
Solution:
Make the columns sizeable and store the column with per user.
Make the columns sortable
Make the portal able to handle more than 20 documents in user actions
Show a proper page info, counting with the option jump to last page or to page n.
Add an option to identify the documents by a file name property to upload documents already with metadata in a spreadsheet.
Add an option to import packages.

All of this is true. The only other thing I would add is the Download button is not working well. I need to press downlaod five time before the download starts.
