Change default imported items folder

[steveso]

Might be an obvious newbie question, but I'll ask it anyway :)

Where do I set the folder that the "copy to" or "link to" shortcuts items end up in? I know I can rename the folder inside of UR. For example, if in Outlook, and I click on the "copy to UR" shortcut, the item ends up in my "Imported Items" folder in UR.

Where do I define that?

thanks,

Steve

exactly where you would expect it: options->import

From help:
"Insert imported items at selected item in Data Explorer tree":
If checked, new imported items will be added as children to the selected Info Item in the Data Explorer Pane. If not checked, new imported items will be added as children to the Imported Items system Info Item.

I dont think there is any other option ... so either child of "current item" or child of "imported items"

As quant indicated, the location is either Imported Items or the selected info item.

Also, the next version of UR will have full two-way Outlook sync, so you will be able to link different Outlook folders into UR, then sync all changes in one step (instead of using the Outlook toolbar). If you'd like to be included in the beta notification, send an email request to support@kinook.com.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did see that, but it seemed rather vague (at least to me) and in my version, the "Import" tab says "Insert imported items at *bold* item in Data Explorer tree".

As it wasn't selected at the time, it wasn't bolded, and well, I just didn't make the connection.

Anyway, thanks for the help, and it is now selected, bold and working the way I was hoping!

Take care,

Steve

Okay, related to this, I have to ask another question. It appears that imported items will go into whatever folder is bolded "at the moment" in data explorer., Is this correct? For expample, if I am looking at my contacts in UR, minimize UR and start reading email, import some items, they will go into the contacts folder (which was the last selected, and therefor bolded folder)?

Is there any way that the import folder can be permantly set wihout having to remember to set it prior to leaving the window?

From Kinook's reply to you:
the location is either
1. Imported Items or
2.the SELECTED info item.

The SELECTED info item is the bolded or highlighted item in the Data Explorer pane.

Only by leaving the default setting of importing to the Imported Items folder. (That is don't check in Options\Import "Insert imported items at bold item in Data Explorer pane")

The last section of http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?threadid=1197 describes one way of capturing to various locations. We're also considering providing an additional import option (in addition to Imported Items and selected item) to choose the location in a popup window without activating the main UR window.
