On the Browse or Search page, you can create folders at the library's root level. On the Browse page, you can also create subfolders.
A CS user can create folders at the root level if the value of the CS "Add Folder" property is set to "Yes" and the user must have Author, Owner or Admin access rights to the library. To create sub folders make sure that the value of CS "Add Folder" property is set to "Yes" and the user must have Author or higher access rights to the folder. An error message " Cannot add Folder. Access rights are insufficient" is prompted to the user if the value of "Add Folder " property is set to "No", irrespective of the access rights on the library or folder. A new CS folder acquires default access rights as follows:
A root folder inherits the access rights of the library; a subfolder inherits the access rights of the parent folder.
Admin is removed from a new folder's access rights list. (A member of the Admin group always has Admin access rights to all documents, folders, stored searches, and search templates.)
You have Owner access rights to any folder you create.
You can create any number of folders anywhere in the folder tree. When you create a folder, by default you and all members of your primary group inherit Read, Write, and Append/Execute access rights to the folder.
Open the library and navigate to the folder level where you want to place the new folder.
If you are creating a subfolder, select the folder in the tree view that will contain the new folder. Skip this step if you are creating a folder at the library's root level.
Click on the FWS toolbar.
Assign a name to the new folder.
An IS folder name can have up to 18 characters (no spaces
are allowed) at each level and up to 8 levels, and cannot exceed 152 characters
in all.
A CS folder name can have up to 32 characters (no special characters are
allowed) at any level, and any number of levels.
Note
The system administrator or a user with Admin access to the CS library can grant Author access rights to the library to users who need to add root level folders.
