Work with folders

We use folders to group sets of item types into logical groupings.

Folders are used to group sets of item types into logical groupings. This is useful when we have large numbers of items in the library and want to distinguish between different groups of items within each item type view. For example, we could create the following component folders to distinguish between different types of image components:

• Photos
• Logos
• Diagrams
• Design images

We can create folders for the following item types:

• authoring templates
• presentation templates
• components

The folders created are displayed in the authoring portlet within each item type view.

• Only a single item type can be stored per folder. For example, if we create a folder under the Presentation Template view, only presentation templates can be saved in that folder.

• We can create folders under existing folders allowing us to create a hierarchical structure of folders.

• We add items to folders selecting a folder as a location when we first create an item, or by moving or copying an item into an existing folder.
