Manage folders

Folders are used to organize objects used to build the Galaxy, and broadly categorized into the Template and Visualization folders. Each folder is indicated by the folder icon. The Template folder contains application objects templates, used for creating a digital twin of the physical environment. The Visualization folder contains objects used for creating runtime displays, such as graphics, apps, controls, widgets, screen profiles, and layouts. The Template and Visualization folders each contain subfolders that further categorize the objects that they contain. These folders are initially created during the Galaxy creation process.

You can move items to different folders within the Template and Visualization folders, but you cannot move a Visualization object to the Template folder and visa versa.You can create additional folders and subfolders to store the templates and graphics used in your application. All folders contained within a Galaxy are displayed by default, but you can customize which top-level folders are shown to make the workspace less cluttered. To set the visibility of a folder, go to the Galaxy backstage menu and select Configure, then Integrated development environment. Then, select Folders and deselect any folders listed under the Template and Visualization folders that you want to hide. select Save to preserve any changes. Subfolders do not appear in this configuration option and cannot be selected/deselected.
