Usage Monitor Help: Folders
The key capability of the utility is to support the ability to specify the folders it will monitor for changes to workbooks. Using the Folders configuration page, any number of folders can be selected. See the screenshot below for an example of the Folders page.
List of folders to monitor
The left-hand side of the Folders page shows a list of the folders the utility will monitor. When one of the entries on the left-hand side is selected, the options associated with the definition are displayed for editing on the right-hand side.
To delete a folder definition
Select an existing folder definition from the list on the left-hand side and click on the Delete Folder. You will be prompted to confirm the definition should be deleted. The option to delete a folder will not be available if no definition is selected on the left-hand side.
To add a folder definition
New folder definitions can be created by clicking on the Add Folder link. Any options on the left-hand side are cleared or reset to their default options and a button (...) to show a file dialog appears.
- First click on the button (...) to select the folder you want the utility to monitor. The folder you select will be shown in the Folder: text area to the left of the button.
- Enter a unique name in the Name: text box.
- By the default, the folder definition is enabled. However if you want to exclude the folder but do not want to delete the definition uncheck the Enabled option.
- Select the types of file you want to monitor.
- Finally choose whether sub-folders of the selected folder should be also be monitored (the default).
