‘New Folder’

With this command a new Folderis inserted as a structural object. If a folder has been selected, then the new one is created underneath it. Otherwise it is created on the same level. If an action is selected, the new folder will be inserted at the level of the POU to which the action belongs.

The context menu of the ‘Object Organizer’ Object Organizer which contains this command appears when an object or the object type has been selected and you have pressed the right mouse button or <Shift>+<F10>.

The newly inserted folder initially has the designation ‘New Folder’. Observe the following naming convention for folders:

  • Folders at the same level in the hierarchy must have distinct names.
  • Folders on different levels can have the same name. A folder can not have the same name as an object located on the same level.

If there is already a folder with the name “New Folder” on the same level, each additional one with this name automatically receives an appended, serial number (e.g. “New Folder 1”). Renaming to a name that is already in use is not possible.
