Adding and moving universes in and out of folders in DataMapping

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of adding and moving universes in and out of folders in L2 DataMapping. Understanding how to effectively use folders can enhance your data organization and streamline your workflow. By the end of this guide, you will have the knowledge to manage your universes efficiently.

Step 1: Creating a New Folder

To begin organizing your universes, you need to create a new folder.

1. Open L2 DataMapping.
2. Locate the Folders section in the interface.
3. Click on the Add Folder button.
4. Enter a name for your new folder in the prompt that appears.
5. Confirm the creation by clicking OK or Create.

Practical Tip

Choose a descriptive name for your folder to easily identify its contents later.

Step 2: Adding Universes to a Folder

Once you have your folder ready, you can start adding universes.

1. Navigate to the universe you wish to add.
2. Right-click on the universe.
3. Select the Move to Folder option from the context menu.
4. Choose the folder you created in Step 1 from the dropdown list.
5. Confirm the action to move the universe into the selected folder.

Common Pitfall

Ensure that the universe is not already in the folder you are trying to move it to, as this can cause confusion.

Step 3: Moving Universes Between Folders

If you need to relocate universes to different folders, follow these steps:

1. Find the universe you want to move.
2. Right-click on the universe.
3. Click on the Move to Folder option.
4. Select the new target folder from the list.
5. Confirm the move.

Practical Advice

Keep folders organized by categorizing universes based on project, type, or function for easier access.

Step 4: Removing Universes from Folders

If you need to remove a universe from a folder but keep it in the main directory:

1. Locate the universe within the folder.
2. Right-click on the universe.
3. Select the option to Remove from Folder.
4. Confirm the action to successfully detach the universe from the folder.

Important Note

Removing a universe from a folder does not delete it; it will still be accessible in the main universe directory.
