A Folder is a container for organizing FlexDeploy projects FlexDeploy Folders provide organization and shared configuration for Projects and Releases. A ***Folder*** is a container for organizing FlexDeploy projects and releases. A ***Folder*** also provides a construct for identifying characteristics that apply to all sub-folders, projects, and releases contained within it (e.g. notifications, approvals, windows, issue tracking, release settings and security). FlexDeploy comes pre-configured with a single root folder called ***FlexDeploy***. Folders and projects are created inside of the ***FlexDeploy*** root folder. To learn more about viewing projects and releases within a folder, see [Viewing Folder Content](https://docs.flexagon.com/hidden-fd90/viewing-folder-content.md). ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909196.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=39a766efff20bcf517b317de50464460) ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909175.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=5d9bd6d8c7e030997e3dec86f5188996) ## Creating a Folder To create a new folder ![(blue star)](https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/s/-845207469/6452/623c691c1356a9708795fbf2d3eb7953dc11488c/_/images/icons/emoticons/72/31-20e3.png) click the **New Folder Icon** or click the options menu of a Folder and select **New Folder**. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909172.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=63aa59c3efb7a6e5790eb4c6ec9f671c) ![(blue star)](https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/s/-845207469/6452/623c691c1356a9708795fbf2d3eb7953dc11488c/_/images/icons/emoticons/72/32-20e3.png) Populate the folder popup with the desired Parent Folder and Folder Name and click **Save**. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909199.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=ac26c4ea176832574dda2f76016c28ad) > [!NOTE] > > ##### Multiple Folders > > You can create multiple folders at once by separating the Folder Name with a `/`. The example above `Doc Folder/Nested Doc Folder` will create two new folders: > > 1. `FlexDeploy/Joel/Doc Folder` > > 2. `FlexDeploy/Joel/Doc Folder/Nested Doc Folder` ## Editing a Folder To edit a folder, ![(blue star)](https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/s/-845207469/6452/623c691c1356a9708795fbf2d3eb7953dc11488c/_/images/icons/emoticons/72/31-20e3.png) ensure the folder you want to edit is selected in the tree and ![(blue star)](https://flexagon.atlassian.net/wiki/s/-845207469/6452/623c691c1356a9708795fbf2d3eb7953dc11488c/_/images/icons/emoticons/72/32-20e3.png) click the **Manage Folder** button. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909187.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=4c0ef98ffb2c29ab9c82bf6e3167703f) Doing so will display several tabs, the first being **General**, where you can edit basic Folder information like the name and parent folder. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909193.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=02943892854d97dda01001064cc39e1f) For information on managing the additional configuration on the subsequent tabs see [Managing Folder Configuration](#managing-folder-configuration). ## Managing Folder Configuration Folders do more than just organizing Projects. Each Folder in the Folder tree can define configuration that applies to each of each “children” in the tree. The simplest example is adding a notification to the root `FlexDeploy` folder. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909190.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=daa708e81a857a9bc47159415ed5a815) With that in place, each child folder automatically “inherits” that notification. We can see this by selecting a child folder and view the **Notifications.** ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909181.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=b3698d3eee5b796581c45f40f15db08b) In the above example we can see Folder `Azure`is inheriting a Notification from the `FlexDeploy` root folder. ### Overriding Folder Configuration In the case where a Folder wants to define its own configuration or maybe just remove the inherited configuration altogether, click the **Override** toggle on the Folder. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909184.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=93b5b8c6d43560ccbd413143f0e09b27) At this point we can add/delete/edit any configuration as needed. ![Image](https://mintcdn.com/flexagon-llc-ce77a95c/NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD/images/fd111/12590909178.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=NkeZh5D-Nf8j_WaD\&q=85\&s=78731cf4b98e22e971825107cdb99aaa) > [!NOTE] > > ##### Overriding Configuration > > Once a folder is Overriding configuration, all its children will inherit this new overridden configuration. ### Additional Folder Configuration All of the below configurations follow the same principle outlined above: * [Project Execution Notifications](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/project-execution-notifications.md) * [Approvals](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/approvals.md) * [Scheduled Windows](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/scheduled-windows.md) * [Folder Issue Tracking System Configuration](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/folder-issue-tracking-system-configuration.md) * [Folder Release Settings](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/folder-release-settings.md) * [Folder Security](https://docs.flexagon.com/flexdeploy-9-0-documentation/flexdeploy-users-guide/folders/folder-security.md)
