·         A folder definition comprises 3 elements

o   Chapter

o   Title

o   Description

·         In order to create the folder on the same level as the folder of the previous line, the definition must be exactly below the previous line

Adapting the structure (Export / Import)

Note

Four columns are generated when a structure is exported from eDoc. The fourth column contains an Identification number that must not be deleted.

 

A structure can be simply adapted in that it is exported, processed and imported again.

Editing is carried out in the same way as 2.2.31.11 Import structure.

Lines can be inserted or deleted.

For inserting, four cells per line are required. The fourth column (Identification number) remains empty when lines are inserted.
