This is a practice exercise solution for organized browser.
00:06
In this exercise,
00:07
we will create a project parameter that we
00:11
can then use to create a browser organization scheme
00:16
to begin on the manage tab
00:20
in the settings panel, click project parameters
00:25
in the project parameters, dialogue, click new parameter.
00:31
We'll create a project parameter
00:34
and name it view usage.
00:40
The discipline will be common.
00:42
The type of parameter will be text
00:45
and we can group it under general.
00:49
Also make sure instance is selected
00:53
and then we will assign it to just the views category
00:58
and then click. OK?
01:02
And then we'll click OK to close the project parameters dialogue.
01:07
Now
01:08
each view should have a view usage parameter.
01:14
Now, we can use that as a part of a browser organization scheme.
01:20
I'll right, click the views branch in the project browser
01:24
and select browser organization
01:28
in the browser organization dialogue on the views tab, I'll click new
01:35
and I will name
01:36
this organization scheme, view
01:39
usage.
01:42
And then I'll click OK.
01:45
On the filtering tab, we'll leave everything set to none.
01:50
And then on the grouping and sorting tab,
01:53
we will group by the view usage
01:57
and then by family and type
02:01
and we'll leave all characters selected
02:04
and for sort by, we'll leave that at view name
02:09
and then click, OK,
02:11
then we'll select the check box next to view usage.
02:15
That way we use
02:16
that organization scheme
02:18
and then we'll click. OK.
02:21
And when we do, we are left with a bunch of question marks.
02:26
And so now we need to go in and fill in those view usage parameters
02:30
so that we can begin to organize
02:34
the project browser.
02:36
So we can select multiple views at once
02:40
and then change the view usage.
02:43
And we'll use three usages here,
02:46
working views, documentation views and presentation views.
02:55
I'll enter documentation for those.
02:59
And when we see working views,
03:02
we can select those and change the view usage to working.
03:09
And when we run across a situation where
03:13
the view usage parameter is unavailable
03:17
because it is dimmed,
03:19
then it's likely there is a view template and we can verify that by looking at the
03:24
view template parameter.
03:26
And then we can specify the view usage
03:30
for the view template.
03:34
And that will then
03:36
assign that view usage parameter to every view that is that has that
03:44
view template assigned.
03:51
So we'll continue to work our way through
03:53
the list here.
03:56
And now we have some presentation views so we can enter presentation
04:06
and once with text based
04:08
parameters,
04:10
once we enter that value,
04:13
then we can choose it from a drop down.
04:16
So now that we have all three options. We can now
04:19
select it from the drop down here.
04:59
And once we have all of the views,
05:02
all of those view usage parameters specified,
05:05
then we have three groupings here under views, one for documentation,
05:11
one for presentation
05:13
and one for working.
00:00
This is a practice exercise solution for organized browser.
00:06

we will create a project parameter that we
00:11

00:25

01:39
