2.3 Tutorial: Folders - Basics

You will see two folders that every user has by default:

1. Favorites
2. Shared Maps

You can now create a new folder by clicking the “Create New Folder” button at the bottom.

You can save any map directly to one of your folders. Here’s how:

1. When you have a map open, click on the map menu at the top right.
2. In the dropdown, select the entry “Bookmark (in folder)”.

3. Now choose the folder where you want to save this map.

4. The map is now in the selected folder.

 

💖 A map can be saved in any number of folders.

💖 You can also save maps from other users.

If you are in a folder, you can click the “Add Map” button.

Then the following selection will appear:

There you can select the desired map by clicking on a red cross.

A dialog will then appear for selecting your folder and with which permissions the map should be stored there.

You can add any map directly to one of your folders using the Map-Link.

You have the option to bookmark folders from other users.

Open the folder and then click on the star icon.

Alternatively, you can use the “Add map via link” function.

You can remove any map and any folder from the folder again.

1. Click the red edit button for this purpose.

2. Then click on the red-white trash can icon.

Afterwards, the map is removed.

The map itself is not deleted here, only the reference to the map in your folder is removed.

In each folder, you will find a search function that allows you to search through all the maps present there, including all the boxes located on these maps.

You can save multiple maps from your colleagues in a folder and then search through the contents of all these maps using the folder search function.

Example: You can search for a name of a student or a device name for lending purposes, and only maps will be displayed where boxes containing this search term are found. When you click on the map, the corresponding map will open, and only the box with the term will be displayed.

You have the option to change the sorting of the maps in the folder.

To do this, click on the folder title in edit mode.

There you can select four sorting types.

This sorting is loaded the first time the folder is accessed.

Note: Folders within folders are always sorted alphabetically.

 

The sorting via the buttons in the folder is independent of this.
