Creating a Designer Folder

Overview

Designer Folders are Folders that allow the ability to Create, Edit, and Store customizable business process logic in the form of Designer Elements (ex: Flows, Forms, Rules, etc), 

In addition to the standard Designer Elements, Designer Folders may also contain additional Designer Folders and regular Folders within them. 

The following document discusses how to create a Designer Folder from the Decisions Studio. 

Example

There are a few ways to create a Designer Folder in the Decisions Studio:

• click the plus icon to the right of FOLDERS, atop the Folder Tree 
  
• right-click an existing Designer Folder, then select Add Designer Folder

This example will explore the latter option.

1. In the Studio, right-click an existing Designer Folder (ex: My Apps) in the folder tree.
2. From the Action Menu options, select Add Designer Folder. 
   
   Right-Click Action Menu: Designer Folder

   Quick access to the same Designer Folder Action Bar items: Create Flow, Create Form, Create Datatype, etc.
3. In the Add Designer Folder panel, declare a Folder Name (ex: First Designer Folder).
4. To place the new Designer Folder at the root of the Folder Tree, check the Add At Root option; leaving it unchecked will place it inside the existing folder (ex: My Apps).  
5. Selecting the Show Advanced Settings checkbox reveals options to further configure Folder Look and Feel.
6. Click CREATE DESIGNER FOLDER to finalize
   
   
7. Confirm the Designer Folder (ex: First Designer Folder) was created appropriately.
