Project folders provide a convenient way of structuring your projects. Project folders are hierarchical which means that you can create them inside other project folders in just the same way that you can create nested sub-directories in the Windows Explorer.
Projects may be dragged and dropped onto folders in just the same way that sub tasks are dragged and dropped onto parent tasks. You may open a project folder by double clicking on it using the left mouse button. The Task List window is then filtered to show just the contents of the project folder. A {bmct help0070.bmp} marker is displayed on the top line of the list. Double clicking on this line will display the top level projects and project folders.
To add a new Project Folder, do the following:
Select New/ Folder from the Edit menu in Project mode. The Project Task Folder property sheet will appear.
Type in a name for the Project Folder and press OK. The Project Folder will be displayed at the top of the Task List window above any top level projects.
To delete a project folder, select it and press the Delete key on your keyboard. When you delete a folder, any projects inside the folder will also be deleted. If you want to avoid this then you should move the projects out of the folder before you delete it. You can move projects out of a folder in the following way:
Double click on the folder to show the folder's projects.
Select the projects and drag them on to {bmct help0071.bmp} marker. The projects will be moved up one level. If you now click on the {bmct help0072.bmp} marker, you will see the projects along with all the other projects in the Task List window.
