Please do not delete the WebModel's export folder before exporting again!
The comments and the cockpit settings of the users of the viflow WebModel are saved in the webmodel.sqlite file in the WebModel's export directory and merged with the updated content after another export.
It is therefore best to back up the webmodel.sqlite file so that you do not lose all comments and other personal settings in the cockpit if you accidentally delete the export folder.
In this chapter you will find some tips for calling (perhaps unknown?) functions quickly.

Show object in tree or folder view
If you click on an object in the graphic with the left or right mouse button, the context menu is opened.
Here you can – in addition to the properties or hyperlinks – display the respective object in the structure or folder view of the navigation window:
This gives you an overview of how, for example, processes in the process model hierarchy are integrated into the model. The views are then opened at the appropriate place.
You can also use the context menu (right mouse button) to jump directly to the other view (Structure->Folder view and vice versa) and display the object there:
Configure views in the settings
Under ››› Settings you can define whether In the respective views for processes, information and areas should be displayed as structure or folder views.
If both views are activated, you can switch between folder view and structure view in the navigation window by clicking the corresponding button.
