Business Mode File Tree

Business Mode File Tree

The Business Mode File Tree is the left sidebar of the editor. It shows your project structure and provides fast file and folder management, search, and navigation.

Search and Navigation

  • Breadcrumbs show the current folder path and let you jump up the tree.
  • Filter narrows the list by name (files and folders).
  • Unfiled is a drop target to move items back to the root.

Folder Organization

Create nested folders to organize your project:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
project/
β”œβ”€β”€ models/
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ customers/
β”‚   └── orders/
β”œβ”€β”€ data/
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ entities/
β”‚   └── weights/
β”œβ”€β”€ templates/
└── scripts/

Creating Folders

  1. Open the File Menu (three dots) in the Unfiled row, or use the Add icon on a folder.
  2. Select Add Folder.
  3. Enter a name, optionally choose a color or icon, and click Create.

Managing Folders

Right-click a folder to open the context menu:

Action Description
Rename Folder Change the folder name
Duplicate Folder Create a copy of the folder including contained files
Delete Folder Remove the folder (files move to root)
Folder Color Apply or clear a color
Folder Icon Set a folder icon preset

You can drag and drop folders to move them. Drop on Unfiled to move back to the root.

File Types

Files are identified by their extensions. Common types include:

  • Models: .xml
  • Entity Data: .ent.csv
  • Weighting Data: .wgt.csv, .wgt.ent.csv
  • Templates: .template.*
  • Scripts: .json, .sql, .py, .js
  • Config: project configuration files

Creating New Files

Use Add File from the File Menu (root or folder). This opens the File Wizard where you select a file type and, if needed, upload content.

Managing Files

Right-click a file to open the context menu:

  • Rename, Download, Duplicate, Delete
  • Hide/Unhide file

In multi-user projects, a lock icon appears to show edit status. Global files are read-only.

Uploading Files

Upload files by dragging them into the tree or onto a specific folder. The file is imported into the project and appears in the tree.

Supported Formats

The platform accepts CSV files with any encoding or delimiter:

Encoding Supported
UTF-8 βœ“
UTF-16 βœ“
ISO-8859-1 βœ“
windows-1252 βœ“
ASCII βœ“
Delimiter Supported
Comma (,) βœ“
Semicolon (;) βœ“
Pipe (\|) βœ“
Tab βœ“

Automatic Detection

The platform automatically detects file encoding and delimiter during upload. No manual configuration required.

Download Format

When downloading files, the format matches your project settings:

  • Settings β†’ General β†’ CSV Delimiter
  • Settings β†’ Runtime Configuration β†’ Encoding

Note

Easy drag-and-drop is especially handy if you are updating CSV files in your favorite local editor and want to upload them into your project as input data for generation.
