Create Folder

Purpose

Create a new folder inside a department or an existing parent folder to organize documents.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to EisenVault One.
  • You can open the department or parent folder where the new folder should live.
  • You have permission to create folders in that location.

Before You Begin

New folders inherit permissions from their parent unless your organization configures folder-level permissions differently. Choose a clear folder name that follows your organization's naming rules.

You can create folders from the document library toolbar or from a parent folder's options menu, depending on your view.

Create a Folder

  1. Open Files & Folders and navigate to the department or parent folder.
  2. Click Create Folder in the toolbar, or open the parent folder's options menu and choose Create Folder.
  3. Enter the folder name in the modal.
  4. Click Create or the equivalent confirmation button.

Example Walkthrough

  1. Open the target department or parent folder, then click Create Folder. The modal highlights the folder name field and confirmation action.

Expected Result

  • EisenVault One creates the folder under the selected parent.

  • You can upload documents into the folder when you have upload permission.
