Processing Scope

Process Navigator acts on files from the Multi-Map Root folder that have been loaded. Files that are not loaded in Process Navigator do not fall within the Processing Scope and are not subject to actions selected to be performed.

The top panel of the Map Control Console lists all files in the Multi-Map Root folder under the headings: Path, Name, Extension, Size, Date Modified, Complexity, Load State. The processing scope is shown by the entries in the Load State column. You can sort the list by clicking on the headings.
