Library Folder Structure (Useless extra "Node" folders)

Votes:

0

Not sure if I'm using Libraries correctly...

...but this is what I'm looking for:

If I create a new library and then i want to (e.g.) create a new library folder for all my sites, every time I add a new site group folder, I also get a parent "Node" folder.

So I want my library to look like this:

All Sites (Library)

Site1 (added as "Library Node")

Site2 (added as "Library Node")

Site3 (added as "Library Node")

But instead, I get this:

All Sites (Library)

Node

Site1 (added as "Library Node")

Node

Site2 (added as "Library Node")

Node

Site3 (added as "Library Node")

I don't want these extra "Node" folders. i understand that I can rename them, but I really don't want them at all because it makes the sunburst map look terrible. Also setting the nodes to display sensors is also not good enough as some sites have lots of sensors, over 1000.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Dear joevirtus

Each addition generates a node. This is a limitation in how libraries work, you also cannot move items between nodes.
