In Vertec, folders are used to create structures and categorize content. In addition to regular folders, Expression- , SQL- , and Query- folders are available.

Objects can be assigned to folders manually. “Normal folders” are also used for the mapping of keywords .

A new folder is created by right-clicking on an existing folder. Select New > Folder.

The following window will open:

Designation

Name of the folder.

Free reference

Starting with Vertec 6.2, there is a field called Free Reference on every Vertec object. This can be used freely. For more information, see the article about the Properties dialog.

Classes

Selection of the classes which the folder is allowed to include.

List controller

As of Vertec 6.6, a List Controller can be stored here.

Index

The index allows you to specify the sorting in the tree. Vertec simply sorts the folders by ascending index. If nothing is specified, the folders are sorted by the objid.

Icon (disambiguation)

All icons in Vertec are assigned a number. If you want to use a different icon for this folder than the default icon (-1), you can enter the index of the desired icon here. The corresponding numbers can be found in the Icons article.

Allow subfolder

If you want to create a multi-level data structure and want this folder to have subfolders, allow subfolders must be activated.

Separate list for each type
If the folder contains entries of different types, a separate list for each type can be shown, see Folder contents with separate list for each type.
Keyword folder

For the categorization and keyword of the different entries in Vertec, the folder can be marked here as the Keyword Folder .

Icon for subfolder

As of Vertec 6.4.0.5. If an icon index is specified here (see also field above), it is automatically assigned as icon to newly created subfolders. A change to this value has no effect on existing subfolders.

For class

With the activator of the checkbox Keyword folder the class of the entries must be entered here.

Inclusive
Exclusive
Base folder
Default folder
For a description of these fields, see Folders as keywords .

Once you have made these adjustments, the new folder will appear in the folder structure. From now on, the allowed entries can be assigned either via keyword assignment or manually via drag & drop.

Note: To assign objects via a checkbox, the rndKeywordFolder renderer can be used.

These folders are located in Vertec and do not correspond to the file repository. How to link documents in Vertec to your file repository is explained in the article Document management with vertec .
