Folders

Overview

Users can conveniently group and store connections using folders in the Database Navigator. Folders can be created by any logged-in user in the Private project, and by administrators in the Shared project.

Managing connections and folders

Folder creation

To create a folder in the Database Navigator, follow these steps:

1. Press the New folder button on the top Navigator toolbar.

   

2. Enter a folder name in the popup dialog box and press the Create button.

   Note

   Folder names may not contain the following symbols ?, U, [, ^, /, :, ', ", \, <, >, |, ?, ], +,* and cannot start with a .. Each folder name must be unique within the project. If a user attempts to use unsupported characters or a non-unique name, an error message will prompt a name change.

   

   Tip

   If the option to enable private connections is activated in the settings, you can select whether folders are shared or private during creation.

Adding connections to folders

To add a connection to a folder, drag and drop the connection into the folder. The connection will then appear in the Database Navigator within the folder.

Moving connections

To move a connection out of a folder, drag and drop it above the list of Navigator objects.

Creating and managing subfolders

To create a subfolder, drag and drop one folder into another, or click on a folder and create a new one. To move a subfolder, drag and drop it above the list of Navigator objects or into another folder.

Renaming a folder

To rename a folder, select Rename from the folder's context menu and change the name in the popup dialog box.

Deleting a folder

To delete a folder, select Delete from the folder context menu and confirm the action in the popup dialog box.

Note

Deleting a folder will only remove the folder and any subfolders. All connections will remain in the Database Navigator.

Refreshing folder content

To update a folder's content, select Refresh from the folder context menu.
