Figure 8-17 Slips for entering and editing folder names
Users can create up to 12 folders visible everywhere and 12 more folders
specific to each application. The system does not permit an application-specific
folder to have the same name as a folder that is visible everywhere.
Folder Tab 8
If a view has a Filing button (for filing the view’s data into folders), then the
view must also have a folder tab at the top so users can see the data they
have filed in folders. A folder tab looks like the cut tab part of a paper file
folder. The Newton folder tab shows the name of the folder whose data is
currently displayed in the view. The name begins with a diamond because
tapping it pops up a picker from which a user can choose which folder to
see. Additionally, a user can choose to see only items not filed in any folder
or items from all folders (including unfiled items). A check mark appears
next to the current choice. Figure 8-18 shows a sample folder tab and picker.
Every Folder picker includes two choices in addition to the alphabetical list
of folders. At the top of the Folder picker, above a separator line, is the
choice Unfiled Items. At the bottom of the alphabetical list of folders, below a
separator line, is the choice All Items. In both of these choices, your application
can replace the word Items with the name of the type of item displayed in
the view.
Folder Creation slip has a checkbox for
designating where the folder can be seen
Folder Editing slip reports where the folder
can be seen
