Adding Folders to Views

The following procedures describe how to add folders to views.

Adding a New Folder to a View

To add a new folder to a view, do the following:

  1. Right-click the root folder of the view and choose New.

    The New Folder Wizard opens.

  2. In the New Folder Wizard, select a parent folder for the new folder in the folder tree and click Next.

    The new folder will be created as a child of the selected folder, and the Folder Name page of the wizard displays.

  3. Type a name of up to 254 characters for the child folder.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • Leave the Working Folder text box blank. The application creates the working folder using the name of the new folder and the path to its parent’s working folder.
    • Type in or browse to the path for an existing working folder in the Working Folder text box. When you browse for a path, you create an absolute path to this folder’s working folder.

      Note: If you want this folder's working folder to be relative to its parent folder's working folder, type the addition to that path in this text box. Do not browse.

  5. Type a description of up to 254 characters for the new folder in the Folder Description text box, and click Next.

    The Child Folders page of the New Folder Wizard displays the new folder in the New Folder’s Child Folders box. If the working folder has child folders, an application folder is created for each of them.

  6. Do one of the following:

    • To exclude a child folder from your project, select the folder and click Exclude.
    • To exclude all child folders, click Exclude All.
    • To re-display folders you have excluded, click Reset Folders.

  7. Click Next.

    The Folders page of the New Folder Wizard displays the view’s folder hierarchy with the new child folder.

  8. Click Finish.

Adding Not-in-View Folders to a Project

To add not-in-view folders to a project, do the following:

  1. Choose Folder Tree > Show Not-in-View Folders to make Not-In-View folders visible in the client.

    With this item checked on the Folder Tree menu, you can see Not-in-View folders in the folder hierarchy on the left, and on the Folder tab in the upper pane.

  2. Select the Not-in-View folder(s) you want add to your view.

    Note: You can select multiple sub-folders on the Folder tab using Ctrl+click, or Shift+Click+Arrow.

  3. Right-click the selected files and choose Add to View.

  4. Select the files in the folder you just added on the File tab and choose Add Files.

Note: This operation allows you to add the selected folder (and any Not-In-View parent folders) to the project folder tree. This is an alternate way to create folders instead of using the New Folder wizard. The folders it creates have the same folder name and working folder path.
