ZxApp IT Users Guide

5. Using the Tree Organizer

ZxApp IT allows you to create, format, organize, and store rich text documents into a hierarchical collection, as shown in Figure 5.1.  This is a screenshot of the ZxApp IT Main Window in its default configuration.  On the left side of the screen you will notice the navigation tree.  Users create rich text documents that are hierarchically associated with one another.  Each document is referred to as a node.  When a node is selected in the navigation tree, the associated document is presented on the right side of the screen.  Nodes can be added, removed, renamed, and moved.  In addition, individual nodes can be password protected, as discussed in detail in the section titled "Password Protecting Data".


When creating links, it is important to understand the difference between a Node, a File, and a Document.  A Node is another document within the hierarchy of the current organizer.  A File is a reference to a file in the local file system.  A Document is one or more versions of a file, managed by the ZxApp IT Document Manager.  Documents are embedded into the organizer, and are thus a safer way to ensure that important documents are never lost. Images, likewise, can reference a file, a URL, or a Document.  See the section on Images and Attachments" for additional details.

Deleting Nodes

To delete a new node, right click on it and select "Delete Node".  A confirmation dialog box will appear.  If the node has child nodes, the dialog box will indicate this.  Click [OK] to confirm that you want to delete the node.  


Renaming a Node

To rename a node, right click on it and select "Properties...".  Alternately, the Node Properties Dialog box can be selected by double-clicking on a node.  Change the name of the node in the Node Properties Dialog box and click [OK].


Moving a Node

To move a node, right click on it and select "Move Node".  A Move Node dialog box will appear, as shown in Figure 5.3 shown below.  Use this dialog to select the location this node should be moved to.  Once the new node is selected, there are three buttons from which to choose;


Select as Sibling Before - This makes the node to be moved a sibling before the node selected in the Move Node dialog box.


Select as Child - This makes the node to be moved a child of the node selected in the Move Node dialog box.


Select as Sibling After - This makes the node to be moved a sibling after the node selected in the Move Node dialog box.
