Edit a Folder to modify the properties of the Folder.
Before you begin
- To edit a Folder you must have Folder Management rights.
- If you want to modify Folder permissions, you must also have Permission Management rights and write permissions for the containing Folder.
- If this Folder is a shared item, you must localize the Folder before you can edit the Folder.
Procedure
- To edit a Folder, navigate to the Folder you want to edit.
- Right-click the Folder in the tree view or list view, and in the context menu that opens, select Properties.
A dialog opens for the Folder.
- On the General tab, edit the following fields as required:
- 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.
- Mandatory — (appears only if Linked Schema is set) 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.
Note: If Component Templates and Page Templates interact with the metadata of the Folder, you may need to modify the Templates
- If you want to modify Folder permissions, select the Security tab, and grant or deny users Read, Write, Localize, or Delete permissions as necessary:
- Inherit security settings from Parent — the Folder inherits security settings from the Folder in which you nest this Folder. You can only change User and Group permissions or Exceptions if you clear this value. If you select this setting, the Content Manager removes any previous settings.
- Users and Group permissions — you can set Read, Write, Localize, and Delete permissions for this Folder for each User or Group that has access to this Publication. If you modify them, the Folder will no longer inherit security settings from the Parent Folder.
- Read — the user or group can view items in the Folder
- Write — the user or group can create or edit the items for which they have rights
- Delete — the user or group can delete items for which they have rights
- Localize — the user or group can create a local copy of a shared BluePrint items for which they have rights
- Exceptions — exceptions override other permission settings and deny specified user or group read, write, localize and/or delete permissions.
- Click the Save and Close button on the toolbar.
