## 2.6. Wizards and Dialog Boxes

Dialog boxes and wizards prompt you for information when you are performing certain actions on objects within EKM. Wizards are supplied when multiple-steps are needed to perform the action. They appear on the screen and are temporarily displayed until action is taken.

Note: On Android tablet devices, some dialog boxes are not visible in landscape view; they are visible in portrait view although the font may be unreadable. You can pinch zoom to enlarge the font size.

### Specifying the Location of Objects

In most dialog boxes where you need to select an object, clicking Browse displays a panel that contains the repository file system.

You can navigate to a folder in the following ways:

- Drill down in the tree by clicking folders.

- Enter or paste the path to a folder in the address field, then click . In EKM, paths have the following general format: /`section`/`page`/`folder name`. For example, if you have created a folder on the My Data page called Custom, the path to that folder is /Data/My Data/Custom.

  When specifying a path using this method, ensure that you include the forward slash / at the beginning of the path, and that the spelling and case of each folder/file name is correct.

- Click to navigate to the parent folder of the one currently selected.
