Creating a new folder

You can create the structure of the digital asset hierarchy by adding folders and subfolders to the directory node.

You can create folders and subfolders only if your login has an access level that allows you to create directory node.

When you place a large number of assets in a single directory, it takes longer for the program to display the contents of the folder in the folder list. For example, a folder that contains 10,000 assets may take around 15 seconds to display a list of 10 of the assets in the directory. If you have a directory with a large number of assets, you can improve the speed by moving the assets into sub-directories of the directory.

To create a new folder

Choose Manage Assets from the navigation pane.

The Manage Assets page displays. The digital asset hierarchy appears under Directory.

Use the Directory hierarchy to locate the directory node in which you want to create the folder. Refer to Navigating the digital asset hierarchy for information about navigating to a particular directory node.

Choose Add Folder.

The Add Folder page opens.

Complete the fields as needed. (For more information, see Fields: Add/Edit Folder.)

Click OK to save the folder information and return to the Manage Assets page.

The new folder displays as a child of the directory node you selected in the Directory hierarchy.
