Introduction

A folder is a logical structure for categorising files under jobs. Folders can be created and edited from both the 12d Synergy Administration and Client applications. You will need to have the necessary administration rights to create and edit them. You can also create template folders to ensure consistency in your folders.

When you select a folder from the job tree, the contents of the folder are displayed to the right as shown below. You can see the list of files in the folder along with the following details in different tabs.

• Any attributes set on the folder

• Any notes created on the folder

• Any reports generated on the folder

• Any issued files of the folder

You can right-click on the column headings displayed in the folder view to customize the display as per your requirements.

When you select one of the files from the folder view, then its details are displayed in the tabs below (General, Attributes, Notes, Associations, Issues, and Issued Versions) and a snapshot of the contents of the file.

While working on the files in the folder, you can individually check out each file, or consider all the files in the folder as one unit for check-out. 12d Synergy also permits you to work offline on the checked-out files either from your workspace or outside your workspace. When working on the files outside of your workspace, you will need to export the files.
