Viewing files in the file manager as icons

The product library file manager provides you with different ways to view the files that are associated with each level of the product library. Any type of file can be copied into the product library and associated with a solution, product class, series, product, instance, or area of interest.

You can view the files associated with other items in the product library using the icons view. The icons view displays the files associated with a level of the product library using larger icons. The file name appears below the icon.

Icons view on the product library file manager

This view can be used in conjunction with the library tree view that is available in the file manager. The tree view appears the same way as the product library tree.

Steps:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Right-click Product Library, a solution, product class, series, product, instance, or area of interest, then click Manage Files.

   The file manager appears.
4. Click the drop-down arrow next to the Views icon and click Icons.
   Note:

   The view does not change if it was already in the icons view.
