Web content folders

You use folders to group sets of web content item types into logical groupings.

Folders are used to group sets of item types into logical groupings. This feature is useful when you have large numbers of items in your library and want to distinguish between different groups of items within each item type view.

For example, you might create the following component folders to distinguish between different types of image components:

  • Photos
  • Logos
  • Diagrams
  • Design images

You can create folders for the following item types:

  • authoring templates
  • presentation templates
  • components

The folders that you create are displayed in the authoring portlet within each item type view.

  • Only a single item type can be stored per folder. For example, if you create a folder under the Presentation Template view, only presentation templates can be saved in that folder.
  • You can create folders under existing folders to create a hierarchical structure of folders.
  • You add items to folders by selecting a folder as a location when you first create an item, or by moving or copying an item into an existing folder.

Creating a folder

You create a folder when you need to store a set of the same type of items in a logical grouping.

To create a folder, open the applications menu and go to Content > Web Content Management and then click New > Folder.

  1. Entering identification information
    Specify identification information for the current item, including the name and title for the item. The identification section is common to all item forms.
  2. Specifying a location for an item
    When you create an item, you can specify the location of the item.
  3. Granting users or groups access to an item
    Specify the access control settings for the current item to designate which users have access to an item and their level of access. The access section is common to all item forms.
