Project view

Project view displays the contents of the FactoryTalk Optix Application in a tree structure of folders.

Folders

Each folder has a dedicated icon and context menu. The context menu displays objects that you can create in that folder. Any subfolder that you create displays the same options as the folder on which it is based. You can create multiple versions of a folder.
