You can create two types of folders within the WCMS: a folder that displays in the site navigation with an index page, or a folder that groups assets such as images, and does not display in the site navigation.
Creating Folders
Creating a folder with an index page
Create a folder with an index page. The folder will display in the page navigation. The index page is the main page of the folder and is the "landing page" for that folder. Other pages that are created within the folder will display in the navigation.
Step 1
In the folder tree, click into the folder into which you would like to add your folder. Navigate to Add Content > Folder.
Step 2
Enter the Folder Name. The Folder Name is the name that displays in the URL; it must follow the WCMS naming conventions.
For Example: A new folder name of "New Folder" must be entered as "new-folder".
Step 3
Verify that the Placement Folder is correct. To change the Placement Folder, click into the field, click the radio button for the folder you want, and click Choose.
Step 4
Complete the Display Name and Navigation Set. The Display Name is the name that displays on the page navigation.
Step 5
Under the Properties tab, check the appropriate boxes for publishing and indexing.
Step 6
Click Submit. The new folder will display in the folder tree with the index page within the folder.
Step 7
Submit the folder. It will appear in the folder tree.
Step 8
In order for the folder to display in navigation on the page, click into the _xml folder and publish the navigation-xml page.
Creating a Folder for Grouping
You can also create a folder without an index page. You can use this folder to group items such as documents or images.
Step 1
In the folder tree, click into the folder to which you want to add a folder. Navigate to Add Content > Default > Folder.
Step 2
Enter the Folder Name for your new folder following the WCMS naming conventions.
Step 3
Click into the Placement Folder field to search for the parent folder.
Step 4
Select the placement folder you want. Click Choose.
Step 5
Under Properties tab, check applicable boxes for publishing and indexing.
Step 6
Click Submit. The folder will appear in the folder tree.
