Folder

What is a Folder?

A Folder is a container for organising your data models, functioning very similar to a folder stored on a computer. A Folder may contain data models and other sub-folders to manage and organise your catalogue.

Catalogue items may only be stored in one folder at a time, because Folders use a hierarchical-structure. If a catalogue item should be linked to more than one container, consider using Classifications instead.

Why use Folders?

Folders are a useful method of organising your catalogue, especially as it gets larger in scope. Folders are also subject to the same access rights as any other catalogue item, such as making them:

• Publicly readable,
• Readable by authenticated users, or
• Restricted to certain user groups.

Folders are simply containers though; for more complex workflow and organisational scenarios, consider Versioned Folders
