Creating a Folder

Create a Folder in the Building Blocks of a Publication to organize Schemas, Components, Component Templates, Page Templates, Template Building Blocks, Folders, and Virtual Folders.

Before you begin

To create a Folder you must have Folder Management rights and Write permissions for the containing Folder.

Procedure

  1. To create a Folder, navigate to the Building Blocks of a Publication and the location in which you want to add the Folder.
  2. In the Create tab of the ribbon, click New Folder.

    A New Folder window opens.

  3. On the General tab, fill in the following fields:
    • Name — you must make the name of the Folder unique within the Folder in which you create it. In a BluePrint, this naming constraint extends to any Parent or Child Publications in the BluePrint.
    • Linked Schema — (optional) the default Schema for Components created in this Folder.
    • Linked Schema is mandatory — (optional) Components created in this Folder can only use the Linked Schema.
    • Metadata Schema — (optional) allows you to specify data in metadata fields that can contain values for the Folder. If these fields are mandatory, you must fill the fields in before you can save the Folder.
  4. Click Save and close in the Home tab of the ribbon.

Results

The Content Manager creates a Folder.

What to do next
