Role: Administrator or Editor.

Use the Files page in the Xpedition Viewer application to create folders that organize and store design-related files (.cce) and non-design related files associated with a project. You can also create subfolders within a folder (also called nested folders) to further organize files associated with a project in the Xpedition Viewer application.

You can upload and store external ancillary data files, such as manufacturer part specifications, engineering notes, documents, schedules, and so forth, associated with a project to the folders you create.

Restrictions and Limitations

  • A folder name can contain spaces.

  • A folder name must be unique.

Prerequisites

  • You selected a project name in the Projects page (Xpedition Viewer application).

  • The Files page displays in the application.

Procedure

  1. Click Create Folder.

  2. In the Create New Folder dialog box, type the folder name and click Done or press Enter.

    The folder name displays in the Files page.

    Note: When you navigate into folders and nested folders, use the breadcrumb trail as a reference to the parent folders or the root directory.

  3. (Optional) Repeat the previous steps to create more folders.

Results

Collaboration team members with the proper rights and tier subscription can now populate the named folders and subfolders with ancillary data files associated with the native project data.
