Creating folder structures

When you need to create multiple new folders with standard names, such as a standard project folder structure for document classes, construction trades, and so on, use the Manage Structure command. The command allows you to select a preconfigured folder structure template from which to create a new, identical folder structure. Folder structure templates are configured by a system administrator.

To create a folder structure:

1. Right-click the folder within which you want to create the new folder structure and select Manage Structure. The Manage Structure dialog appears similar to the following figure.

2. Select a template from the Available Folder Templates list. A preview of the template’s folder structure appears in the lower pane. Some of the folder names may be provided by the properties shown in the property list.
3. Select or enter values for the properties shown in the property list.
4. Select the checkboxes next to the folders that you want to create. Clear the checkboxes of any folders you do not want created.
5. Click OK to create the folder structure.

Note    If you do not normally have security privileges to create folders, the folder structure will be created for you by the server. The folder structure may not be immediately visible to you.
