In addition to the standard and delimited fields you can add to a view, Zoot also lets you add folder columns to a view. You add a folder column to a view to make it easier to assign items to that folder or to its child folders. When you add a folder column to a view, if the folder has any child folders, they become choices when you edit a folder column cell. If you add a folder column to a view and the folder in question has no child folders, the folder column acts as a Boolean Yes/No column, where Yes means your item is assigned to the folder and No means it is not. The Hot folder, found in most Zoot databases by default, is an example of a Yes/No folder column.
Here the user has clicked on the Character column and is choosing Heady from the drop down list of choices. Each choice is a child folder of the Character parent folder. Later the user can click on the Heady folder in the Folder Tree to see all of the wines whose character can be described as Heady.
A folder column with child folder choices can be either Single-pick or Multi-pick. Single-pick means an item can be assigned to just one of the child folders (the child folders are mutually exclusive). Multi-pick means an item can be assigned to any number of the child folders. The Character folder shown here is a Multi-pick type to allow for the wide variety of wine character attributes.
