Folders

Some core Label expression can be used with folders. Folder label expressions affect the display of child objects, not the folder itself. Folders inherit the label expression of their parent folder.

An example:

${name} ${viewpoint} - When applied to a folder containing Views, each View will display its name and viewpoint (if set)
