Manage Folders

To work with folders in the Folder Tree, highlight one or more folders, then right click and choose a command from the pop-up menu.

You can indent and unindent folders in the Folder Tree to change their hierarchical relationship. To quickly indent or unindent folders, highlight the folders and press the TAB key to indent or Shift+TAB to unindent. This action can also be performed using the mouse -- select the folders you want to indent or unindent, then right click and choose Tree | Indent/Unindent from the pop-up menu.

To move a folder to a new position in the Folder Tree simply drag-and-drop it where you want it to go. To move a folder you drag with your left mouse button, otherwise drag with your right mouse button and when you drop the folder Zoot will display a pop-up menu of alternate commands.


Copy or Move a Folder to Another Database
When you copy or move a folder to another database, Zoot also transfers any system objects associated with the folder. This includes rules, actions and view properties. Zoot will also give you the option to transfer any items currently assigned to the folder.


To copy or move a folder to another database, follow these steps:

1. Select the folder or group of folders you want to transfer.

2. You can transfer a folder one of two ways, so choose one of the following transfer methods:

·

SendTo Method - Right click on the selected folder and choose SendTo | Copy/Move from the pop-up menu. Zoot displays a menu of target databases to choose from.

·

Drag-and-Drop Method - Drag the selected folder and drop it onto one of the Desktop Databases or onto the Open button. If you drop the folder onto the Open button, Zoot will display a pop-up menu of databases to choose from. Drag with your left mouse button if you wish to move the selected folder, otherwise drag with your right mouse button and Zoot will display a pop-up menu of alternative commands.
