Modify Project Folder Label dialog box

Use this dialog box to customize the way the name of a project folder appears in Project Center without changing the actual folder name in the Microsoft Windows hierarchy. This dialog box enables you to re-label project folders in the Project Files activity center that have similar names, or to add drive letters to them for ease of identification. The new labels will also appear in the Add Files dialog box and the Select Folder dialog box.

For example, let's say you added the following folders to Project Center as project folders:

//serverA//Standards/CAD/

//serverB//Drawings/CAD

and let's say they're mapped as follows:

S: //serverA//Standards/CAD/

P: //serverB//Drawings/CAD

The problem is, in the Project Files activity center, they will appear as:

CAD

CAD

Using this dialog box, you can re-label them to differentiate them.

Be aware that re-labeling a folder is separate and different from using the Rename task in the Project Files activity center. The Rename task renames the actual folder name in the Microsoft Windows hierarchy.

Label

Enter the new label for the project folder as you want it to appear in Project Center.

 

To access this dialog box

Select a project folder and click Modify Label from the Project Folders tab of the Create Project dialog box or the Edit Project Settings dialog box.
