Folder Variables

Folder Variables

Folders are used for grouping similar Projects together and for controlling which users have access to those Projects. Folders can also be used to define variables that all Projects in the folder and its subfolders can access. For example, a variable containing administrator email addresses defined on the root folder would be accessible by every Project in
Managed File Transfer
. If the list of administrators needs updated, the variable could be modified which will automatically be reflected in all Projects.
Variables can be defined on each folder level in the folder tree. Subfolders can override a parent folder's variable value by defining a variable with the same name. For example, if the root folder contained a variable named 'admins', a subfolder could also contain a variable named 'admins' and override the value just for that folder. If a Project has a variable defined with the same name as a folder variable, the variable value in the Project will take precedence.
Variables are administered using the Add and Edit folder links on the Projects page.
