-===== FileList Tab ===== 
- 
-//FileList Tab// allows you to navigate through the model folder and perform actions on the model. 
- 
-{{http://TestOptimal.com/img/IDE_FileTab.png?400x400}} 
----- 
-==== Folders ==== 
-//TestOptimal// stores models in //model folder// and sub-folders under //model folder//.  Folders are displayed first before the listing of models.  
- 
-The header section shows the path to the current folder {{http://testoptimal.com/img/folderHeader.png}}.  There is a button on the left of the folder path that allows you to move up to the parent folder. The folder name //Root// indicates that you are at the top of the //model// folder. 
- 
-You can drill into folders by clicking on the folder name. 
- 
-To open a model, just click on the model name. 
- 
-Model/folder listing can be sorted by column. Click on the column header to toggle the sorting between ascending and descending order. 
- 
-The search field above column name header is used for searching models by name. Models with names containing the string entered in the search field are returned. Search is case insensitive. 
- 
-You may refresh model list by clicking on {{http://testoptimal.com/img/refresh.png}}. 
-=== Context Menus ===  
-Right-mouse click on the current folder name on the header section brings up the //current folder context menu//. 
-  * //Clean Up// - purges the models marked (with //_DELETED_// in the model name) in the current model. 
-  * //Batch Run// - opens [[batch_run | Batch Run]] dialog. 
-  * //Batch Deploy// - opens [[batch_deploy | Batch Deploy]] dialog. 
- 
-Right-mouse click on the folder name in the list brings up the //sub-folder context menu//. 
-  * //Delete// - deletes the folder. 
-  * //Paste// - pastes the model in the pasteboard into the sub-folder. 
-  * //Move// - moves the model in the pasteboard into the sub-folder. 
- 
-=== Create Folder === 
-Folders can be created with //File / New Folder// menu.  You will be prompted to enter the name for the new folder. Only use the valid characters for the folder name. Avoid using punctuation character and symbols in the folder name. 
- 
-Folder name must be unique within the current folder. 
- 
-All models are stored in "model" folder under //TestOptimal// installation home directory.  //Folder// created is reflected as a folder under "model".   
- 
- 
----- 
- 
-==== Model List ==== 
-Models are stored in folders. //FileList Tab// lists models in the current folder alphabetically. You can re-sort the models by clicking on the sort symbol next to the column label. 
- 
-Column //Plugin Name// shows the names of the plugin used by the model. This can help you quickly identify models using a specific plugin. 
- 
-You can open the model by clicking on the model name. If IDE already has another model open and has pending changes unsaved to disk, it will alert you that you have pending changes that must be save.  If there is no pending changes detected for the current model, it will push that model to the background and switch to the model clicked. 
- 
----- 
-==== Relocate Model Folder ==== 
-"model" folder can be relocated outside //TestOptimal// installation home directory for various reasons including wanting to place "model" in a network share that is being backed up, to share with different //TestOptimal// installations (editions). 
- 
-To move "model" folder outside TestOptimal installation directory, edit the following config property in //config.properties// file: 
-   modelFolder=N\:/path-to-model/model 
-where N is your network share drive.  Please note that "model" must not be renamed.  
- 
-Keep in mind that model will be "locked" when it's first open by any //TestOptimal// IDE. This is to ensure that only one //ProMBT// can edit the model.  Other //ProMBT// can still open the same model but will be in //readonly// mode. 
- 
- 
----- 
-=== Context Menu === 
-Right-mouse click on the model name brings up //model context menu//.  Some of the menus may only be visible when certain condition is met. 
-  * //Restore// - restores current model from its last backup. 
-  * //Delete// - marks the model //deleted// by renaming it with a prefix //_DELETED_//. Models marked //deleted// can be purged (permanently deleted) from the folder with //cleanup//.  
-  * //Copy/Cut// - copies the model to the pasteboard. The model can then be either pasted (made a copy) or moved. 
-  * //Run// - opens and automatically runs the model. 
-  * //Deploy// - archives the model in [[server_manager_edition| SvrMgr]].
