Creating a Folder
Folders allow you to organize documents by category, department, or function—providing a structured and efficient way to manage and access related files within the system.
1. Click to Add a New Folder.
-
Create a name for the Folder.
- Providing a name is required. The name of the Folder is essentially the category identifier for the documents that it will contain.
-
Provide a description for the Folder.
- Providing a description is optional. The description is used to help provide extra information to a User as to what the Folder should contain.
-
Assign Folder Managers.
- Assigning Folder Managers is required. Users and/or Groups assigned as Folder Managers are granted permission to create subfolders and documents, as well as set collaborators to this Folder.
2. Select either Skip the Doc Defaults and Finish - OR - Set Doc Defaults.
-
Set Doc Defaults:
- Clicking this moves you to step 2 of 3, which is the beginning of Doc Defaults.

-
Skip the Doc Defaults and Finish:
- Setting Doc Defaults is an optional function. Skipping this allows you to create the Folder without assigning the Doc Default settings.

- If you initially chose to skip setting Doc Defaults during folder creation, you can configure them later by accessing the following option:
-
- In DocControl, select the existing Folder you want to apply Doc Defaults to.
- Click the Hamburger icon in top left of the Folders window.
- Click Update Folder Settings.
- Click Set Doc Defaults.
