Table 15-2

Menu Command	Meaning
New Folder	With this menu command you can create a new folder.
	When you select the command, a dialog box “Add Folder”
	appears in which you enter the folder name. A new folder is
	always created below the icon selected in the left-hand
	area.
	Note:
	The Symbol File Configurator allows a maximum folder
	nesting depth of 9 and a maximum path length of 255
	characters. If these limits are exceeded, in particular when
	moving folders, problems can occur.
New Symbol	With this menu command, you create new symbols. After
	selecting the menu command, the “Add Items ...” dialog
	opens
Add Prefix	You can save a preferred prefix for the OPC name space in
	your symbol file.
	This prefix is recommended in the “Configuration Console”
	configuration program in the “Manage Symbol Files”
	diagram if a symbol file with a preferred prefix is selected.
	The prefix precedes the OPC name space of a symbol file,
	for example when browsing, and is used to identify symbols
	uniquely if there are several symbol files. If a prefix exists, it
	is displayed in the folder view.
Remove Element	Select this menu command to delete a folder selected in
	the left window area.
