You use Folders to organize your work in Content Server the same way that you work with folders on your computer. The Folder is the most versatile type of container in Content Server because it can contain almost any other type of item, including Projects and other Folders. A Folder inside another Folder is called a subfolder.
The Add Item menu and Add Folder button appear at the top right of every Workspace or container page where you have the permission to add a Folder or an item.
When you add a Folder to Content Server, you can provide a description of the Folder, modify its Categories and Attributes, and add the Folder to a different container. For more information about adding items, see Working with General Items.
If you have the proper permissions, you can configure the appearance of a Folder. For more information, see Customizing Workspaces and Containers.
A unique configuration option when adding a Folder, if permitted by your administrator, is to choose from an assortment of different icons for the Folder. This can be useful if you want to visually distinguish the Folder or give users an indication of what kind of information the Folder contains. You can specify a different icon at the time you add a Folder, or you can specify a different icon for an existing Folder, provided you have the proper permissions.
By default, any item that you add to a Folder inherits its permissions from that Folder. For example, if a group has See Contents permission on a Folder, members of that group will have permission to see any item you add to that Folder. However, it is possible to modify the permissions of individual items in a Folder. For more information, see Managing Permissions.
