2023.1:Node Tree (UI Element)

This is the hierarchical list of Grooper Nodes (folders and other objects) found in the left panel when you first open Grooper Design Studio. It is the basis for object navigation and creation in Grooper Design Studio.

Adding an object creates a new "node" in the Node Tree. The Node Tree is called a "tree", because it "branches." Each new node added under another creates a new "branch", or a new level down from the node it is created. What objects can be added under a branch are determined by the node(s) above it.

The Grooper Root

The Grooper Root is the top level (or "root node") of the Grooper Node Tree.  It contains all Grooper Node objects as its children. It also stores several settings that apply to the connected Grooper Repository, including"

• The Active File Store location.
  • Visit the Install and Setup article for more information on Grooper Repositories and File Stores.
• The License Serial# or URL configuration.
  • Visit the License Activation article for more information about how to license your Grooper install.
• Any security settings stored in the the Permission Sets.

⚠

Be careful about commonly interchanged words. Informally, "root node" and "Grooper Root" are often used interchangeably. However, "root node" is a more general term. You may, for example hear a Batch's root folder be called a "root node" as well. Or any node with a complex child node hierarchy as the "root node" relative to one of its children.
