Creating Categories & Folders 
Creating Categories
To create a new top-level category in your QuikView List (also called the tree) just click the Create Category link in the User Menu, as shown. This link will open the Create Category panel, as shown below. There you can enter: Category Name - Enter a unique name for this new category Description - Enter a brief description of this new category Please Note: Both Category and Folder Names and Descriptions are used in internal QuikView searches. The description you enter here will only be used by the search functions available on the Toolbar, so keywords and/or short phrases are recommended for effective searching. Click the Submit button to create your new category. 
Any new categories which you create will be displayed beneath the default category which was created when you signed up for your QuikView account. All new categories will be displayed in the order that you create them.
Once you have created your categories, you can create folders within them, or drag and drop existing folders or links into them. Please Note: The drag and drop feature is not available for the Opera browser. 
You can change the name or description of any category you have created, including the default or base/root "Bookmarks" category which was automatically created for you at signup. Simply right-click on the name of that category and choose Folder Properties from the context menu. This will launch the Properties panel for that category.
Just make any desired changes on the Properties panel, and click the Submit button to save those changes. 
CREATING FOLDERS
You can add as many folders as you like to your default or base/root Bookmark category or any category you have created. You can also create folders inside folders to help you organize your channels and links any way you choose.
To create a new folder in any category or folder, right click it and choose Add Folder from the Context Menu. On the Add Folder panel, the parent category or folder for that new folder will be filled in for you, as shown below. 
Please Note: If you wish to add the folder to another category or folder than the one that appears in the "Parent Folder" field, you can complete the add folder process and then drag and drop the new folder to the location of your choice. Please remember that Drag & Drop is not available to the Opera browser.
Or, you can click the Return button and then right click on another category or folder to add the folder to the preferred category or folder. Complete the two additional fields on the Add Folder panel: Folder Name - Enter a unique name for this new folder Description - Enter a brief description of this new folder Please Note: Both Category and Folder Names and Descriptions are used in internal QuikView searches. The description you enter here will only be used by the search functions available on the Toolbar, so keywords and/or short phrases are recommended for effective searching. When you have entered the details for your new folder, just click the Submit button to add it to your QuikView sidebar panel.

CATEGORY & FOLDER MANAGEMENT
After creating your new categories or folders, you will want to add channels or links to them. As your collection grows, you may want to move folders or links to different categories or folders to refine the organization of your QuikView panel. You can right click any category or folder to bring up the Context Menu, as shown here. There are a number of options available to you on the Context Menu.
Mac Users can access the Context Menu using the Show Menu Icon. You enable this special icon by checking the Show Menu Icon option in your Preferences. You can then click on the menu icon, which will appear before the link name, as shown on the screen shot to the left.
Please Note: This option is not recommended for Windows users. Using the Drag & Drop feature, you can quickly move folders and links between categories and folders with ease. Please Note: This feature is not implemented for the Opera browser. For complete details on getting the most out of your QuikView, please refer to the Using QuikView category in the Help Tree. There you can get complete details on adding channels and links, using the Context Menu, the Drag & Drop feature and more. |
