Example Report

The interactive table below is an excerpt from the file catalog of File Catalog project. Only two sub folders are presented for illustrative purposes.

Text for folder Description comes from the DESC: field in the ReadMe.txt file stored in each folder.

Folder Status is determined by the composite status of all the files contained in a folder. File status is recorded in the STAT: field in the comment header in each file. When one or more files in a folder has a status of Development, the parent folder is given the status Development because at least one file is not yet complete. Only when all files in a folder are STAT: Complete will the parent folder achieve the status of Complete
