Menu Command Meaning
New Folder With this menu command you can create a new folder.
When you select the command, a dialog box “Add Folder”
appears in which you enter the folder name. A new folder is
always created below the icon selected in the left-hand
area.
Note:
The Symbol File Configurator allows a maximum folder
nesting depth of 9 and a maximum path length of 255
characters. If these limits are exceeded, in particular when
moving folders, problems can occur.
New Symbol With this menu command, you create new symbols. After
selecting the menu command, the “Add Items ...” dialog
opens
Add Prefix You can save a preferred prefix for the OPC name space in
your symbol file.
This prefix is recommended in the “Configuration Console”
configuration program in the “Manage Symbol Files”
diagram if a symbol file with a preferred prefix is selected.
The prefix precedes the OPC name space of a symbol file,
for example when browsing, and is used to identify symbols
uniquely if there are several symbol files. If a prefix exists, it
is displayed in the folder view.
Remove Element Select this menu command to delete a folder selected in
the left window area.
