Folders Overview

Folders Overview

Folders provide a way to organize and store metadata in the repository, including mappings, schemas, and sessions. Folders help you logically organize the repository. Each folder has a set of properties that you can configure to define how users access the folder. You can verify folder content by comparing folders.
You can perform the following tasks when you work with folders:
  • Configure folder properties.
    When you create a folder, you can configure properties such as name, description, and owner.
  • Compare folders.
    You can compare the contents of a folder with other folders to verify content. You can compare objects between two folders in the same repository or in different repositories. You can perform folder comparisons before copying or replacing a folder.
  • Manage permissions.
    A permission is the level of access a user has to an object. A user with the privilege to perform certain actions can require permissions to perform the action on a particular object.
  • Copy folders.
    You can copy a folder and all of its contents within a repository or to another repository.
