1. You will need to save it as a new folder and also make it your default folder. That way it will open up for you next time you open the screen. IF you need some screen shots let me know.

Hi,
Customizing the Presentation of Data in a Folder (User, System Administrator, and Flexfields Help) A folder block is a special block whose field and record layout you can customize. The following helps you distinguish a folder block from a regular block:

• An Open Folder button appears in the upper left corner of a folder block.

• An enabled Folder Tools button appears on the toolbar when your cursor is in a folder block.

• An enabled Folder menu appears in the main menu bar when your cursor is in a folder block.

You can customize a folder block to retrieve just a subset of records and display those records in a different layout. You can save your customizations as a folder which defines the layout of your fields and the query criteria used to retrieve your subset of records.

When you first install Oracle Applications and navigate to a folder block, what you see is the original default folder definition or a folder defined by your system administrator. You can modify this default folder definition and save your customizations to be the new default. You can distinguish a custom default folder definition from the original default folder definition because a custom default folder definition always displays its name next to the Open Folder button.

Attention: If your system administrator sets the profile option Flexview: Allow Customization to No, you cannot create or customize folders. The only item available from the Folder menu is Open , to open a predefined folder.

=============

Customizing the Layout of a Folder (User, System Administrator, and Flexfields Help) The Folder menu and folder tools provide you with many options to help you customize your folder layout.

Note: Some Folder menu items are not available when you are in Enter Query mode.

    To show a hidden field:

1. Choose Show Field... from the Folder menu to display a list of currently undisplayed fields.

2. Select a value from the list and choose OK to display the field in the folder layout.

The new field is inserted after the current field, and the cursor moves to the new field.

    To hide a field:

• Choose Hide Field from the Folder menu to remove the current field from the folder layout.

Your cursor moves to the field sequenced after the field that was removed.

    To move a field to the right:

• Choose Move Right from the Folder menu.

In a multi-record block, this swaps the position of the current field with the field to its right. In a single-record block, this moves the current field one character-width to the right.

    To move a field to the left:

• Choose Move Left from the Folder menu.

In a multi-record block, this swaps the position of the current field with the field to its left. In a single-record block, this moves the current field one character-width to the left.

    To move a field up in a single-record block:

• Choose Move Up from the Folder menu.

This moves the current field one character-height up.

    To move a field down in a single-record block:

• Choose Move Down from the Folder menu.

This moves the current field one character-height down.

    To widen a field:

• Choose Widen Field from the Folder menu.

This increases the width of the current field by a 0.2 inch increment, up to a maximum width of 20 inches.

    To shrink the width of a field:

• Choose Shrink Field from the Folder menu.

This decreases the width of the current field down to a minimum width of 0.2 inches.

    To autosize all the fields of a folder:

• Choose Autosize All from the Folder menu.

Resizes displayed fields based on a sample of values for the field in the block, ensuring that no field is smaller than the width of it's prompt. The number of records (sample of values) is determined by selecting one of three options: 10, 50, or 100 in the decision window.

    To rename a field prompt:

1. Choose Change Prompt from the Folder menu.

2. Enter a new prompt name in the Alter Prompt window that appears.

If you precede a prompt name with a hyphen, `-', and you choose to show the field in the folder, the field appears without a prompt.

3. Choose Default if you wish to recover the original prompt name for the field.

4. Choose OK when you are done.

Attention: Shorten or abbreviate a prompt name rather than change it altogether. This ensures consistency with the similar prompt names that appear in the non-folder windows of your application.
