Setting a Location
You can use the Set Location window to set a location (a context and folder location) for an object during object creation or initial checkin.
* 
To change the context of an object after it has been checked in to Windchill, you must use the Move action. Location changes performed in Windchill are not displayed in the Windchill Arbortext browser.
The Location window presents the following features:
• The Context and Folder fields to specify a context/location
• A location string field that dynamically displays the current folder path
• A group of navigational actions as described in the following table.

3. As needed, click the previous location icon , the up one level icon , or the create new folder icon to navigate to a preferred location.
4. Click OK. The context/location you specified is set for the object.
• To select a location using a saved hot link location:
1. Click the hot links icon . The Location list displays a list of your hyperlinks that are folder locations.
2. As needed, navigate the hot links folder structure to a suitable location.
3. Click OK. The context/location you specified is set for the object.
As you browse, you can click the add to hot links icon to save a location in your Notebook list of hot links.
