Open Document Set window
Use this window to load documents from the file system into a document set. By default, the document set created when documents are added is a Test Set. You can then change the document set type as required.
- Path

Enter a directory or browse to the location where the documents are located.
- File Type
-
Select one of the following file types:
- Automatic
-
Select this setting if the selected directory has unknown document types, or a mixture of document types. (Default: Selected)
The file type with the most available information is loaded. This means that an folder.xfd file is loaded first, then an XDocument (*.xdc), and finally, image (*.tif, *.jpg, *.png) or text (*.txt) files are loaded.
If you have *.xdc files in the parent directory, and *.tif files in nested directories, only the *.xdc files are visible in the Test Documents pane.
If you does not want the file type to be selected automatically, you can select it manually.
Folders are only displayed when folders are enabled for the project within the project settings.

-
This setting is available only when folders are enabled and when the Include subdirectories setting is selected.

This setting is available only when Include subdirectories is selected.
Select this setting to add a new document subset for each directory nested inside the selected Path directory.(Default: Cleared)

This setting is available only when both of the Include subdirectories and the Assign subdirectory as class settings are selected. (Default: Cleared)
Select this setting if you want to add a class to the Project Tree hierarchy for each subdirectory in the selected Path directory.
The Path directory itself is not included in the Project Tree, and the names of the subdirectories are used as the class names.
If a document set already exists for a selected directory, none of the settings are available. If you change the file type for an existing document set, it is overwritten.
