In Folders you can manage your contents, therefore it is possible to create folders on different levels of the tree. You can create folders...

... in namespaces.
... in other folders.
... in Models folders.
... in Forms folders.

Adding a Folder

	Since you can create folders within namespaces, other folders as well as in each Models and Forms folder, you will find the option Add Folder in the context menu of all these elements.
	Enter a name for the folder in the pop-up window Create New Folder. Click Save.
	The new folder is created and displayed in the tree.

The context menu displays all options available for a folder:

Exporting and Importing

You can export and import folders in the explorer tree. For detailed information see page Exporting and Importing Explorer Contents.

Managing the Folder Permissions

You can also set access restriction to a namespace in the user management - and this has priority: If a namespace with read-only permission is already assigned to the user in the user management, the permission set in the Designer has no effect. For further information go to the Scheer PAS Administration Guide.

	Select the option Permissions in the context menu if you want to manage the access to a folder.
	In the pop-up window Permission Administration you can invite single colleagues or whole groups to access the folder. By default, the creator of the folder and everyone sharing the current namespace has write permissions. To limit access to the folder you can delete the group Everyone or give it read-only permission. If you want to restore the permission for Everyone, select option Invite Group first. You can then search for the group and add it again.
	If you want to add other users, first select one of the options: Invite Group: Allow whole user groups to access your folder. Available groups are all distribution lists that have been created as a Role in the user management. Invite People: Add single users to your folder and grant them read or write permission. Go to page Managing Roles in the Administration Guide for detailed information about roles.
	Enter the name or email address of the group or person in the search field. Matching results are shown in a list. Select the entry you want to use.
	Click the icon to add the selected user or group.
	Once the user or group has been added, you can set whether the user or the group should have read or write permission. Do not forget to Save your input.

Sharing a Folder

You can also share the link for a folder.

Choose the option Share from the context menu to copy the link of the folder to the clipboard.

The action is confirmed by a toast message.

You are now able to paste the URL, for example to an email.

Publishing a Folder to the Cockpit

	If you want direct access to a folder in your Cockpit, open the context menu and choose option Publish to Cockpit.
	The action is confirmed by a toast message.
	If you open your cockpit the next time, an external link tile grants you direct access to your folder. For further information about the Cockpit, tiles and groups refer to the BPaaS Guide.

Deleting a Folder

	To remove a folder from the tree, open its context menu and select option Delete Folder.
	Confirm the security query in the pop-up window with Yes to delete the folder from the tree. Please note that all contents of the folder are also deleted.

Folder Settings

If you click on a folder in the tree, its settings are displayed in the settings window on the right side:

Editing the Folder Description

	Click the Edit Description button if you want to enter a description for your folder.
	MultiExcerpt named description_editor was not found -- Please check the page name and MultiExcerpt name used in the MultiExcerpt-Include macro
