FileView Node is any "virtual folder" created within a FileView.
FileViews allow you to create "virtual folders", alternate hierarchical structures for organizing your files in unlimited ways! Using FileViews, you link actual files and folders into a new structure which you create. You can work within the new structure, and all of your files within the FileView are linked to the original locations. You can create any number of new FileViews and even share them with other users.
Create any number of FileView "Nodes" by creating New Folders underneath the new FileView. This creates a new, virtual hierarchy.

You can also use the Split View tool on the toolbar to link files to your FileView. Once the FileView is created, and the links are added, you can start working within the FileView or the original folders, depending on which view is more convenient.
Location: Full path of the selected FileView Node, including the parent folder structure.
FileView Folder Name: Name of the selected FileView "Node". A FileView Node is different than a physical file folder, since the FileView Node is only a virtual folder - it contains links to real files. FileViews Nodes are colored white, whereas physical folders are blue.
Description: You can give any description you wish, to describe the FileView node.
Most people organize their files into folders by file type, such as Program Files, Documents, etc. Within these main folders, people then create subfolders by alphabetical Subject. For example, under the "Documents" folder, you might have subfolders like "Personal Documents", "Planning Documents", and "Project Documents" (colors are used below for illustration):
- MYACCOUNT
- Documents
- Personal Documents
Invitation to Party (Stratford).doc
- Planning Documents
Jones_Planner.xls
Acme_Planner.xls
Stratford_Planner.xls
- Project Documents
Jones_Schedule.mpp
Acme_Schedule.mpp
Stratford_Schedule.mpp
With FileViews, you can create entirely new virtual structures, which are defined by links to your original files. For example, you might create a new FileView called "Customers" with subfolders like "Acme Ltd.", "Jones Inc.", and "Stratford Co.":
+ MYACCOUNT
- FileViews
- Customers
- Acme Ltd.
Acme_Planner.xls
Acme_Schedule.mpp
- Jones Inc.
Jones_Planner.xls
Jones_Schedule.mpp
- Stratford Co.
Invitation to Party (Stratford).doc
Stratford_Planner.xls
Stratford_Schedule.mpp
The power behind FileViews begins when you link your existing files and folders into the new virtual structure. Linking files and folders is simple, just drag-and-drop any file or folder into the FileView nodes. Here is a step-by-step:
Expand the FileView and any Nodes where you wish to create links to your files.
Under your account root directory, expand the physical folder that contains the files or folders you wish to link into your FileView.
Using your left mouse button, click on a file and keep the mouse button pressed.
Keeping the mouse button down, move your mouse over the destination FileView node.
Release the mouse button over the selected destination. This will create a link to the file or folder.
