Shared Variables Organization

I've oganized a few dozen shared variables in multiple Virtual Folders within a Library, but when I list the variables in LabView, particularly in the constant shared variable list control, the Virtual Folders don't exist any more. Is there a way to organize the variables and have multiple levels of folders?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

The reason why Virtual folders do not show up in the Shared Variable Control VI is because Virtual folders do not have a physical address in memory. They are only used in LabVIEW projects to organize information but they will not be saved in the Library itself. If you would like to organize shared variables and be able to see the different categories in the Shared Variable Control, you could create sublibraries and they will appear as in figure1.
