Creating Project Folders

You can also create folders within an Analyzer Project to aggregate related project items. Project folders and project items can be easily dragged and dropped into an existing folder project folder in order to group them together appropriately.

To create a folder within an Analyzer Project:

1. Right-click on the Analyzer Project title (or an existing project folder within the current Analyzer Project) and select New.
2. In the New menu select Folder. Analyzer creates a new folder in the Overview and highlights its generic name “New_Folder”
3. Supply a meaningful name for the folder and hit the Enter key.

To add project items to the new project folder, you can:

drag and drop existing project items into the new project folder, or
right-click on the new project folder and create new project items (procedures, table layouts and workspaces)

An existing project folder can also be dragged and dropped into another folder in the Overview within the current Analyzer Project. Any project items within the project folder are automatically moved to the new folder location.

Typically a project folder is dragged and dropped when you want to make it a sub-folder of another existing project folder or when you want to make an existing sub-folder a stand-alone project folder. This enables you to organize your project items and project folders easily and quickly within an Analyzer Project.

Note: A project folder can be hidden from display in the Overview by using a trailing underscore in the name of the folder.
