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.

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

Folder Organization¶

Create nested folders to organize your project:

project/
├── models/
│   ├── customers/
│   └── orders/
├── data/
│   ├── entities/
│   └── weights/
├── templates/
└── scripts/

Creating Folders¶

Open the File Menu (three dots) in the Root row, or use the Add icon on a folder.
Select Add Folder.
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 Root 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

Weighting files are created the same way as any other file type — pick Weighting (.wgt.csv) or Weighting / Multi in the File Wizard.

Weighting file type in the File Wizard — Selecting a weighting file type

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 common CSV encodings and the supported delimiters listed below. Detection is best-effort; configure the delimiter when it cannot be detected:

Encoding	Supported
UTF-8	✓
UTF-16	✓
ISO-8859-1	✓
windows-1252	✓
ASCII	✓

Delimiter	Supported
Comma (`,`)	✓
Semicolon (`;`)	✓
Pipe (`\\|`)	✓
Tab	✓

Automatic Detection

The platform attempts to detect file encoding and delimiter during upload. If delimiter detection fails, provide a supported delimiter manually.

Download Format¶

When downloading files, the format matches your project settings:

Settings → General → CSV Delimiter
Settings → General → Project file 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.

File Tree Actions¶

The file tree sidebar's own action bar provides:

File Menu (three dots) on the Root row, and the Add icon on folders, to create files and folders — see Creating Folders and Creating New Files.
Collapse/Expand Sidebar: The file tree sidebar is resizable and can be collapsed on its own, independently of the app navigation sidebar.

Reset Changes, Save Changes, and Switch Editor Mode are not in the file tree sidebar — they sit in the top toolbar, next to Generate — see Editor Navigation Bar.
