Files module

Add a single folder

Site Administrators, Content Administrators, and users in groups with
Folder Admin
 permissions can create folders in the
Files
 module.

Add a new folder

To add a new folder, select
New
 then
Folder
:
The
Add Folder
 window opens.
The
Add folder
 page lets users enter details about the folder they are creating.
  • Name (required)
     - Enter the name of the folder that will be displayed in the Files module. This name does not need to be unique, meaning
    two subfolders can share the same name in the same folder
    .
  • Description
     - Add a description that may be useful to other users (i.e. Site and Content Administrators and users with Folder admin permissions).
  • Location
     - Displays the parent folder in which this folder will be created. By default, this is the folder you were viewing when you selected
    Add
     >
    New folder
     but you can click
    Choose
     to select a different location.
  • Permissions
     - In the
    Permissions
     tab, if a site is configured to use folder- or file-level security, you can change permissions.
  • Add
     - Select
    Add
     to create the new folder:
The new folder is added to the selected location. If you have access to the new folder, the folder opens.

Permissions for new folders

If folder- or file-level permissions are enabled on the site, and you have a folder or site admin role, you can select if a folder inherits permissions in the
Permissions
 tab.
Select the
Permissions
 tab to see the permissions that currently apply.
If
Inherit parent folder permissions
 is selected, the folder automatically inherits the permissions of the parent folder - the folder in which it is created:
If
Inherit parent folder permissions
 is NOT selected, you can adjust each permission for groups or users before you add the folder.

iSheet Metadata

You can associate iSheet metadata fields with a folder.
