Creating Document Containers

Note that document containers can only be created inside document container sets. To create a document container you have two options:

  1. Via context menu in the data view Documents
    1. Select the project in which you wish to create the document container
    2. Activate the Documents tab in the Project Data View
    3. Click with the right mouse button and select New...→Document Container... in the context popup menu. This will launch the dialog to enter the attributes of a document container

      Create Document Container

    4. Enter a name for the document container. The name does not need to be unique
    5. Enter a category for the document container and optionally keywords to describe the content of the document container
    6. Enter the status of the document container
    7. Close the dialog with Finish to save the document container
  2. Per Drag'n'Drop
    1. Select a file or URL and drag it from your file manager or internet browser
    2. Let drop this object on a plan element in the opened editor
    3. A dialog will be opened that lets you choose the set in which you want to create the document container.
    4. The Create Container dialog opens thereafter.
      The URL or file link is already registered. You need not type this in the link attribute.
    5. Enter the values for the attributes and close the dialog with Finish to save the document container

You are able to filter the document container with the known attributes.
E.g. the key word filter can strip the whole list of document containers with a list of commaseparated search items. Contains the key words of a container one of the search item, this container is still visible in the Project Data View.
