# Folder Viewer

## Overview

A **Folder Viewer** displays the Reports of a specified Folder on a Page.

This control works very similarly to the Report Viewer; however, the Folder Viewer is easier to configure switching Reports existing in the same Folder.

## Example

1. In a **Designer Project**, [create a new Page](/v9/docs/create-pages-dashboards).
2. In the Page Designer, navigate to **Toolbox > DATA** and drag the **Folder Viewer** control into the workspace.
3. Select the Folder Viewer and view its **Properties** panel. Under BEHAVIOR, select PICK DEFAULT REPORT.

4. In the Create or Pick Report window, select PICK then navigate to ALL then **All >** **System > Designers > Catalog > System Defaults,** and select any default Report**.** This example selects the Accounts Reports.
