Creating and managing Folders

Folders help organize your files. You can create and manage folders in Airship, our content management system. 

Keys to success

• Create folders and subfolders to define your content structure
• The order of folders and files in Airship define the order for end users 
• Upload files to the related folder
• Update and organize files within folders
• Update folder info
• Add permissions for user access

Create a new Folder

Add a new folder by selecting Create

Update folder attributes on the Folder Info tab

Add permissions for users and groups on the User Access tab

Advanced Folder Options

Mirror: Replicate a primary folder to a new location without creating a copy. Mirrors allow you to manage a single folder but utilize it in many locations 

Search Folder: Allow you to create a folder whose items are dynamically populated. Users will only see matching items if they have permission to see those items in their original locations.

You can use the "Add Search Parameter" button and the visual editor below to construct simple searches. For more complex searches, click "Show Advanced" and edit the criteria directly. You will see the fields in the visual editor update as you type.

If you need a more complex query that involves multiple levels of ANDs and ORs, you can use Advanced Query input box and compose the query inside of it. Here is an example query which will pull in all items that have audience field set to Customer-facing and are either pdfs or word documents:

audience EQUALS "Customer-facing" AND (type EQUALS "pdf" OR type EQUALS "docx")
