The folder tree
The folder tree is used to organize and group documents. The following figure illustrates a sample folder tree in the personal documents page. The folder tree functions the same in the vault page.
Legend:
| No. | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | The top, or root level of the folder tree. In the preceding figure, Joe represents the user account name. |
| 2 | A parent folder. A parent folder can contain subfolders and virtual folders. In the preceding figure, the parent folder My Results contains the folder July_Results. It also contains the virtual folder Results. |
| 3 | A subfolder. A subfolder is nested in (contained by) a parent (higher level) folder. In the preceding figure, the subfolder July_Results is a subfolder of My Results. A folder one or more levels up is called an ancestor. In this figure, Joe is an ancestor folder of July_Results. |
| 4 | A virtual folder.
A virtual folder organizes documents by type within the root and each
folder. For example, the document type results has the virtual folder Results,
the document type report definitions has the virtual folder Report
Definitions, and so on. A virtual folder is not displayed in
a folder until a document is saved to it. Then the appropriate virtual
folder type is inserted in the folder and displayed.
Note: A virtual
folder does not take permissions.
