How might a team benefit from custom File view columns? Some of the possibilities for custom columns
include the following:
955
Building Web Sites with a Team 31
n Project Manager
n Lead Designer
n Lead Programmer
n Template Used
n Date Created
n Date Due
n Percentage Complete
n Client Contact
File view columns are sorted alphabetically even if the values are numeric. For example, if you
have three files with the numeric values 100%, 50%, and 10%, an ascending sort displays
10%, 100%, 50%. As a workaround, use decimal values (.10, .50, and 1.00) to represent percentages, and
the files will be sorted correctly. If your columns require date values, use leading zeros in dates, such as
01/03, to ensure that the columns are properly sorted.
Although having the Design Notes information visible in File view columns is extremely helpful for maintaining
an overview of a Web site, Dreamweaver takes the feature a step further. After a custom file column
is established, you can handle additions and modifications to the Design Note from the Files panel. Click in
the custom column of the file; the existing information, if any, is highlighted and can be altered. If there is
no data in the column, the column becomes editable.
Although the Design Note is actually a separate file, you cannot change File view columns for
a locked file.
