Form Set Folders

Large projects often contain many form sets. With Micromine it is easy organise them into sensible groups using form set folders.

Create a form set folder

1. Right-click a form set object and choose Create Form Set Folder from the right-click menu.



To create a folder within another Vizex form set folder, right-click the parent folder.

In the Form Set Manager

1. In Tools | Form Sets | Manage, right-click a form set or form set group and choose Create Folder from the right-click menu.



To create a folder within another form set folder, right-click the parent folder.

1. In any dialog, select Forms followed by Save As.
2. In the Save Current Values... dialog, enter the new form set Number or click New to automatically generate one.
3. Click the New button next to the Folder box.
