Optional element
In some cases, users want to rename their files, e.g., because they made a spelling error or because they have developed a new naming policy for their model elements. Other users may want to move their elements to another folder for better readability. Both goals can be achieved with the file manager.
Purpose
The file manager allows the user to rename and move elements the user has writing (= editing) access to. It also enables the user to give other MOSAICmodeling users reading or editing access to model elements.
Explanation of the editor
The file manager provides an overview of all files and folders the user has access to as is shown in Figure 1. The capabilities of the file manager are explained in Table 1.
