Create a Folder

Administrators with unrestricted access to the Repository Manager feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Manage Features) can create folders to organize the files used throughout the LMS, and provide access to the appropriate users.

When deciding how to create a folder structure, it might help to think about how you want to organize your files. For example, by department, by course or course type, by organization. You can then set the permissions on these folders and they will be applied by default to their files and sub-folders accordingly.

When you create a new folder it is added to Personal Folders. Folders created by other users are listed under Shared Public folders (if they have given you permission to access them).

After you create a folder, you can set its access permissions if other LMS users—including learners—need to access it. You may also update its properties if you do not want its files and sub-folders to inherit its access permissions (so you can configure them individually).

To create a new folder

Go to Manage Center > Learning > Repository Manager. The Repository Manager opens in a new window and lists your personal folders.
Click Create folder.
Enter a folder name and, optionally, a description, and then click Create.
Optionally, click the Permissions link to update the folder properties.
Optionally, click the Properties link to configure the folder's access permissions.
Click Back to Repository. The new folder is appended to the list. (You may need to click Refresh to see the new folder in the Folders tab.)
