Role: Administrator or Editor.

Use the Files page in the Connect application to create folders that organize and store 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.

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

Restrictions and Limitations

  • A folder name is restricted to 256 characters and can contain spaces. The software displays an error message if you type an illegal character for a folder name.

  • The folder name must be unique.

Prerequisites

  • You selected a project name and version from the Project > Design page.

  • The Files page appears in the web browser.

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 appears in the Files page.


    โ€‹Tip: When navigating into folders and nested folders, use the breadcrumb trail in the Files page to navigate to parent folders or the root directory.

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