Creating a Branch Corresponding to a Folder
The My Projects branch of the Projects navigation window corresponds to the "(Project) Root - My Projects Fold" branch of the "Projects" tree. This branch itself contains other branches, of which certain are folders.
Creating a branch of folder type
To add a new branch to a navigation tree:
1. In the MetaStudio navigation window, expand the MetaViewport folder.
2. Position on the navigation tree concerned.
Example "Projects".
3. Right-click the parent node of the branch, and select New > MetaTreeBranch.
4. In the dialog box that opens, enter the name of the new branch.
5. Click OK.
The convention adopted for naming a MetaTreeBranch of folder type is:(<MetaTree Name>) <Parent Node Name> - <Folder Name> Fold.
Example: (Project) Root - My Projects Fold.
Creating a node from a branch
A branch containing a child node carries the name of this node.
To create a child node from a branch:
1. Right-click the branch that interests you and select New > MetaTreeNode.
2. In the dialog box that opens, enter the name of the new node.
3. Click OK.
The convention adopted for naming a MetaTreeNode in a branch of folder type is: (<MetaTree Name >) <Folder Name > Folder.
Example: (Project) Root My Project Folder.
4. Create branches describing the content of your new branch of folder type, see Creating a Branch Containing an Object List.
If no sub-branch is defined for a branch of folder type, no sub-branch will appear in the navigation window.
