The tree view pane of the Reference Explorer shows reference items organized by folders. Smart Instrumentation defines standard folders in the database. You cannot move or delete these folders, nor can you add new folders. Each folder contains an item type, and the options available on the menus depend on the currently selected item type.

Panels

In this folder, reference panels are arranged according to their category. Panels, in turn, contain their child items, for example terminal strips, racks, wiring equipment, and so forth. There is a lot of flexibility in creating a panel hierarchy. There is no rigid structure like "panel - strip - terminal" that limits your wiring design. You can create various wiring structures, as you require. For details, see Panels by Category Hierarchy Examples to examine a few possible structures.

Cables

This folder holds all the existing reference cables. You can create various child items under cables. For an example, see Cable Hierarchy Example.

Wiring Equipment

This folder holds all the available reference wiring equipment. The items are organized in sub-folders according to the wiring equipment category such as barriers, amplifiers, hubs, I/O cards, and so forth.

Hook-Up Item Libraries

This folder enables you to create and manage hook-up libraries and sub-libraries, and organize hook-up items in sub-libraries as you require. For details, see Items in the Hook-Ups Folder.
