The Organize section of the Script toolbar provides control over the code tree view, categories, process groups, and coding languages.
Expand Grid / Shrink Grid
Expand Grid maximizes the code tree, revealing all the columns available for the code tree items. Note that this view is read only.
When the grid is in expanded view, the Shrink Grid option is available.
Categories
Clicking the "Categories" option launches the Categories dialogue. Here, you can add and edit Categories.
Think of a category like a folder in Windows: you can create a folder, then make a new folder in there, and so on. Here are some tips for working with categories:
- At a minimum, fill in the category name, description, and ParentID.
- To make a top level (or "root") category, set ParentID equal to the ID of your category. In the example below, the Cmd category has an ID of 5, and a ParentID of 5. So, it will show up as one of the top-level categories in the code pane.
- To make a child category (or "sub-category"), set ParentID equal to the ID of the parent category. In the image below, the ParentID for Admin is 4. So, Admin shows up as a sub-category of T-SQL in the code pane.
- To assign an image to a category, type in the image path. E.g., .\Images\SQLScript.png. NOTE: The icon path is case sensitive!
Process Groups
A Process Group is a special type of category. It allows you to define a group of scripts that comprise an ordered process.
Clicking the "Process Groups" option launches the Process Groups dialogue. Here, you can add and edit Process Groups.
