How to Quick Assign Folders
Top  Previous  Next

Zoot offers several different ways to manually assign an item to one or more folders:

·Use the Folder Assignments Dialog  
·Use the +/- Quick Assignment Buttons  
·Use Drag-and-drop  
·Use the Find and Assign Command  


Use the Folder Assignments Dialog

To assign an item to a folder using the Folder Assignment Dialog:

1. On the toolbar, click the Assign button (or press F6) to open the Folder Assignments Dialog.  
 
2. Select the folder you want to assign and click the [>] button. Zoot transfers it to the list of folder assignments to the right. To clear a folder, select it from the list on the right and click the [<] button.  
 
3. Click OK to close the Folder Assignments Dialog.  

You can also rename an item and assign categories using this method. You can assign folders and categories to multiple items using this method.


Use the +/- Quick Assignment Buttons:
To the right of the Assign button on the toolbar you will find a [+] and [-] button. Click the [+] button to display a short list of frequently used folders to which your item can be assigned. The [-] button displays a short list of folders available to be cleared. This list is comprised of the folders to which the selected item is currently assigned.


Use Drag-and-drop:
To assign and item using drag and drop, drag the item over to the Folder Tree using your RIGHT mouse button and drop it onto the folder you want assigned and choose Assign Here from the pop-up menu. If you want to move the item to that folder rather than assign it, drag with your LEFT mouse button instead.


Use the Find and Assign Command

To assign an item in your database to the active folder (the one you have open currently), follow these steps:

1. From the main menu, choose Action | Find and Assign (or press Alt+F6).  
 
2. Zoot displays the Find and Assign Dialog. Type a few words and Zoot will locate any matching items. When the item you desire comes into view, either double-click on it or select it and press the Enter key and Zoot will assign the item to the active folder.  


Notes:

·Folders can be assigned using a folder column also. Search help for How to Create a Folder Pick-list for more information.
