Organizing Folders in the Sidebar
The Log app’s sidebar allows you to display and maintain a hierarchical folder structure in which you create, organize, and access your events, sessions, and templates. The sidebar provides two views that you can access by clicking on the corresponding icon.
The Templates view of the sidebar lets you create a folder structure in which you create and organize your templates.
You can create top-level folders and sub-folders.
You can create templates within a folder.
You can delete only empty folders; you cannot delete folders that contain sub-folders or templates.
The items in the Templates view folder structure are sorted alphabetically. If you have folders and templates on the same level, first the templates are sorted alphabetically then the templates.
The Sessions view of the sidebar lets you organize a folder structure in which you create and organize your sessions and events.
You can create top-level folders and sub-folders.
You can create events within or outside a folder. Within an event, you can create folders and sessions.
You can create sessions only within an event.
You can delete only empty folders and events; you cannot delete an event that contains sessions or a folder that contain sub-folders or events.
The items in the Sessions view folder structure are sorted alphabetically. If you have folders and events on the same level, alphabetical sorting is applied to both. If you have folders and sessions within an event, first the templates are sorted alphabetically then the sessions.
The process of creating, editing, and deleting folders is the same in both views.
