Create, edit or delete a Link’nX scenario folder

On the Link’nX Scenarios page, folders group scenarios under a name, a color and an icon; they appear among the filters and as headers in the list. Deleting a folder does not delete its scenarios: you choose where to move them.

Intended for administrators and installers. First check the project and the gateway: folders organize the scenarios of this context. The folder windows keep English labels, even in the French interface.

Create a folder

1. In the filter area of Scenarios, click New folder. This area is on the left on a wide screen and above the list on a narrower screen.
2. In the New folder window, fill in New folder name: a name is required, with a maximum of 64 characters, for example “Floor lighting”.
3. Choose a swatch in Color, then an icon in Icon, or keep the suggested choices.
4. Click Create and wait for Success!. Cancel discards the form.

To file scenarios in the new folder, follow Move scenarios.

Change the name, color or icon

1. In the scenario list, locate the folder’s header and click its Edit pencil.
2. The Edit folder window shows the same information; the name field is also labeled Edit folder.
3. Click Save and wait for Updated!. Cancel keeps the previous information.

The header only appears when the folder contains visible scenarios. If the search hides it, use Reset in the list. An empty folder has no header and this procedure presents no other editing command: contact support if you need to rename it.

Delete a folder

Locate the folder’s Delete trash can in the side filters on a wide screen, or in its header when it contains visible scenarios. If the search hides this header, use Reset.

• For an empty folder, a browser confirmation shows Delete folder “name”?. Confirm only for the intended folder, otherwise cancel.
• For a folder containing scenarios, the Delete folder “name” window shows how many there are and asks for their destination.

Option	Destination of the scenarios
Leave uncategorized	They move to Uncategorized.
Move to existing folder	Offered when another folder exists: choose it in Target folder.
Move to a new folder	New folder fields open: fill in the name, color and icon, then click Create in these fields before the final confirmation.

Check the destination, then click Delete folder. The button stays unavailable until the destination folder is chosen or created. Cancel cancels the request. The scenarios are moved to the chosen destination, then the folder is removed; they are not deleted.

Confirmed operations are saved as you go; closing the page does not undo them. No button undoes a folder deletion: to revert a filing, move the scenarios to the desired folder.

Check the result

• After a creation or a change, the folder appears among the filters with its name, color and icon.
• After Deleted!, check the destination folder or Uncategorized: the moved scenarios should be there.

Troubleshooting

If creation or deletion does not give the expected result, check the folder list and the location of the scenarios before repeating the operation. Part of the operation may already have been carried out: deletion moves the scenarios first and then removes the folder, and with Move to a new folder the new folder is created first.

If the state remains uncertain, contact support@can-nx.com with the folder, the chosen destination, the message displayed and the steps already taken.
