8.1 Creating a New Custom Folder View

  1. Navigate to the folder or workspace where you want to create the new view.

    If you create a new folder view at the workspace level, the folder view can be enabled on any folder within the workspace. If you create the folder view at the folder level, the folder view can be enabled only on that folder where the view was created.

  2. If you are creating the new folder view at the folder level, click Folder > Form/View Designers in the Action toolbar.

    or

    If you are creating the new folder view at the workspace level, click Workspace > Form/View Designers in the Action toolbar.

    The Form and View Designers page is displayed.

  3. Click New > Folder Views.

    The Add a New Definition form is displayed.

  4. Specify the following information in the Add a New Definition form:

    Caption: Specify the name of the folder view that you want to appear in the Teaming interface. (For example, “Custom Blog.”)

    Name: Specify the internal name of the folder view. This name is not visible to regular Teaming users. (For example, “custom_blog.”)

    Family: Select the folder type that this view is most closely associated with.

    Create a File Entry on file drag/drop: Select this option if you want Teaming to create a new file entry when you drag and drop a file into the folder using the Add Files to Folder feature, as described in Adding a File by Dragging and Dropping in the Kablink Teaming 3 User Guide.

    If you do not select this option, the default entry type for the folder is created when you drag and drop a file into the folder using the Add Files to Folder feature, as described in Dragging and Dropping Files in the Kablink Teaming 3 User Guide. For example, in a Blog folder, a blog entry is created, and the file is added as an entry attachment.

    If you are creating a new view for a Files folder, this option has no effect.

    Folder Icons: Select the icon that you want to represent the folder. The icon that you select is displayed with the name of the folder in the Navigation panel.

  5. Click OK.

  6. To complete the creation process, continue with Section 8.2, Designing a Custom Folder View.
