Automatic labeling
You can askOrganyze to label fles automatically.
OpenWindows Explorer,
right-click on a folder, and in the Organyze menu select ‘Automatic labels’.
l
With the help of the check boxes, you can
select all or only some
sub-folders
in a folder for automatic labeling (default is all).
l
Organyze will ask you whether you wish to automatically label all the
fles inside the folder or only
select formats.
l
Click on the ‘Start’ button (and confrm okay), and Organyze will
immediately label all fles in the folder (including its selected sub-
folders) with the names of all the parent folders upstream of the fles.
How it works:
If you are trying to automatically label fles in a
main folder called ‘Marketing’, in which you have sub-folders called
‘Advertising’ and ‘Promotion’, and the Advertising sub-folder has a sub-
sub-folder called ‘Ad agencies’, then all the fles in the sub-sub-folder
called Ad agencies will automatically get these labels attached to them –
Marketing, Advertising, and Ad agencies (but not ‘Promotion’).
This automatic feature can be very useful for labeling older fles.
But please remember this – you may end up with odd-sounding labels.
And you may end up with too many same-name labels in parallel. On the
other hand, if you use this automatic feature carefully, it could save you a
huge amount of time.
Note:
To avoid clutter caused by too many same-name labels, try this:
Let’s say you have a label ‘Innovation’ under a parent label
‘Management’, and your automatic labeling shows up another
label ‘Innovation’ because that is the name of a folder or sub-
folder somewhere in the path of your automatic labeling.
To clean up, after the auto-labeling is done, call all the fles with
