Article summary

Users with the necessary permissions may edit a Designer Folder to customize the appearance in the Folder Tree.

Right-click on a Designer Folder in the Folder Tree to open its Actions Menu. Under Manage > More, notice these four actions:

  • Add as Favorite
  • Set Look and Feel
  • Set Name and Description
  • Set Order

Selecting the Add as Favorite action pins this folder to the Favorites favorites section of the sidebar for quick access to its contents. This is especially useful for designer folders containing a dashboard.

To change how the Folder looks outside the Favorites menu, utilize the other bulleted actions with settings that, while named the same, affect how the Folder looks in the Folders menu instead.

The following configurations are available upon selecting this action:

Setting NameDefault ValueFunction

For All Users--All users in the instance can see/use the pin.
Note that an account cannot open the pinned Designer Folder until it gains the necessary permissions. Pins do not override permissions.

For Me--Only the account creating the pin can see/use the pin.
