Select Folder dialog box

The Select Folder dialog box allows you to select one of the folders in your workgroup or in a collaboration. This dialog box is accessible from multiple places in the SureDesign program, including the Define Design step of the design wizards where you select a folder in which to save the new design.

In addition to selecting a folder, you can also use the Select Folder dialog box to create, delete, and rename folders, just as you can in the Manage Folders dialog box.

The folders listed in this dialog box are divided into two tabs:

· My Designs tab - lists the folders in your workgroup to which you have access

· Collaborations tab - lists the folders for any collaborations in which you are a member

The instructions provided in this help topic explain how to:

NOTE Top-level folders can only be created, deleted, or renamed by the workgroup administrator (for folders in the My Designs tab) or the collaboration administrator (for folder in the Collaborations tab).
