    2. Click Delete.

    3. To permanently delete the category, click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.

    Change the folder where documents in the selected category are saved

    When documents are added in Document Index, the selected document can be either moved or copied to the selected folder. This way, Tekla EPM retains all documents that have been saved to Document Index, even if the original documents are moved or deleted.

    The default folder for saving documents needs to be in the same structure as the Tekla EPM default folders, so that all users can view the attached documents. Files saved elsewhere than the default location cannot be viewed by other Tekla EPM users.

    1. In the navigation tree, select the category whose default folder you want to change.

    2. Click Default Directory.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • Select the folder that you want to use as the default folder.

      • Click Make New Folder to add a new sub-folder under the currently selected folder. Then, click the sub-folder to use it as the default folder.

    4. Click OK.

  5. To close the dialog box, click the Close button (X) in the upper-right corner.
