Folder groups (2.5 GROUPS)

Why does one need folder groups?

A folder group contains a collection of any number of folders. At least one folder must be assigned to a folder group.

Folder group definitions are required for the following task:

Search in a global index (Option G)

There is no need to create folder group definitions if you are not using this function.

Functions for a global index search

A global search can either be carried out at the folder group level or at the folder level. A folder group can, for example, in this connection, represent a subject group.

Prerequisite for the global search on the folder group level is that all assigned folders use the same query mask (Layout).

Navigation

From the "Primary Selection Menu" choose:

Option 2.5
The "Select Folder Group Definitions" panel is displayed, where you can specify your selection criteria.

When assigning folders to folder groups, proceed in the same manner as when assigning lists to folders (see "Assigning lists to a folder").
