View Root Nodes |
There are three types of View root-node available:
Additionally, there is a Recent Team Reviews folder that contains current correspondence from the Team Review concerning items that are held in any of the Views; this folder has a separate repository of postings for each Team Review server connection you access through the model. You can control how recent these postings must be, and how many are to be listed. When you open the Model Views window for the first time on a project, a Model Views root section, My Views root section and Recent Team Reviews folder are added for you. These can not be deleted or renamed; however, you can create further Model View root nodes that you can modify and delete. |

Subordinate Folders |
Under the My Views root node you can add a single level of View folders, which enable you to group Search View folders as best suit your requirements.
Under a Model View root node you can create Views folders that can contain Search View folders, Slideshow folders and Favorites folders.
You can also export all of the View folders containing Views from any root section as an XML file, and import a Views XML file as an additional, editable Model View root node. These are single-level items; if you drag a Package into the Favorites folder, you cannot expand that Package there. To select specific items inside a Package, expand it in the Project Browser and then drag the items into the Favorites folder. |
