Creating and Opening
Workspace Browser Folders
Workspace browsers let you create and manipulate
folders (file system sub-directories). All folders
have Expand/Collapse icons to show their con-
tents. Dragging items onto a folder icon is the same
as dragging into an open Workspace browser.
To create a new folder in a volume, folder, or
catalog:
1 Select the volume, folder, or catalog in which
you want to create a new folder.
2 Right-click the item and choose New Folder.
3 Type a name for the folder and click OK.
4 For volumes and folders, the folder is created on
disk. In Catalogs, the folder is created in the cat-
alog database only. The Items List updates as
new items are added.
To open a folder in the current Workspace
browser:
 Double-click the folder, or click the
Expand/Collapse icon for the item.
With a browser in the foreground and the
folder selected, press Command+Down
Arrow (Mac) or Control+Down Arrow
(Windows) to open a folder in the
current Workspace browser.
