Chapter 5 Managing Repository Documents

Using folders in the repository

Folders are used to organize the contents of the repository into subject areas, or working groups. For example, in the repository used for the Development team, you can create different folders corresponding to the different teams working in the project.

Moving documents and folders
You can move folders and documents in the repository. When you move a document, you move it with its entire version tree. You cannot move a single document version nor can you move objects from one model to another.
To move a folder or a model you must have a Write permission on the target folder and a Full permission on the moved folder or model.

Repository folders have property sheets in order to display:

The Name of the folder. This name must be unique at each level in the hierarchy of folders. For example, you cannot have two folders "Conceptual Phase" at the root level, but you can create a folder "Conceptual Phase" within folder "Conceptual phase":
The Location of the folder in the hierarchy of folders
Version information about the creation date and author and the modification date and author
The permissions granted to users and groups

For more information on permissions, see section Defining access permissions on the repository contents.
