Adding folders to the system tree

You can add folders to the system tree by editing the top section of the SystemTree.CSV file. Use the table below entitled "Folder Attributes" as a guide to editing the file.

To add a folder to the system tree

Open the SystemTree.CSV file located in the Local path.
Insert a row in the top part of the file with the other folders.
Enter the information for the folder in the attribute fields. For example, to add a folder named Alarms that contains alarm files enter the following:

For the attribute...

Enter...

Key

Alarms

Key Type

Folder
Save the file in the Local path with a .CSV extension.
Close DeltaV Operate.
Select Run from the Windows menu and enter WorkSpace /unregserver in the Open field.
Click OK.
Restart DeltaV Operate.

For the attribute...	Enter...
Key	Alarms
Key Type	Folder

Folder definitions include the attributes in the following table.

Table: Folder Attributes
The attribute...	Defines...
Key	The names of the folders in the system tree. By adding a new name, you add a new folder to the system tree. If you want the folder to appear inside another folder enter the complete path. For example, to add a folder called Drawings to the Pictures folder you would enter: Pictures\Drawings
Key Type	Each entry as a folder and always has the value FOLDER.
AppKey	An entry that is reserved for future use and should be left blank.
Vendor	A company name. When you add a folder, enter the name of your company. Completing this attribute is optional.
ProgID	The program identification from the registry of the ActiveX documents residing in the folder. If the folder does not contain ActiveX documents, leave the ProgID blank.
Extension	The file extension you want to associate with the folder. Completing this attribute is optional. If AutoFind is set to TRUE, this attribute must be completed.
AutoFind	Whether DeltaV Operate automatically displays the files with the specified extension. Setting AutoFind to TRUE displays the files; entering FALSE or leaving the extension undefined creates an empty folder. Typically, this attribute is set to TRUE. If set to TRUE, the Extension attribute must be completed.
Fix Path	The path to each folder. When you add a folder, enter the complete path to it. This must be a FIX path.
DisableNew	Whether the New command on the folder's right mouse menu is grayed out or enabled. Entering TRUE grays out the command; setting the attribute to FALSE or leaving it undefined enables the command. Typically, this attribute is set to FALSE.
OpenExclusive	How the documents in the folder are opened. Entering TRUE opens the files exclusively for use in DeltaV Operate; no other applications can read or write to these files. Setting the attribute to FALSE opens documents in a non-exclusive manner so that other applications can read or write the file. Typically, this attribute is set to FALSE.
