Creating Folios and Sub-Folios

Prerequisites: Users require site administrator permissions to complete this task.
Note
Users require folio administrator+ permissions to the folio to create sub-folios. Folio administrators cannot create top-level folios. See one of the following for details:
Create folios and sub-folios for users with permissions to access and moderators to manage. You can create folios on the Folio Management or Deleted Folio Management view.
To create a folio:
  1. Log in to Cartella.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Folios.
  3. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Click Create New Folio.

      Create New Top-Tier Folio

    • Right-click the desired location in the Folio Management tree and click Create Sub-Folio.

      Create Sub-Folio

      Note
      Choosing this step creates a sub-folio (child) of the right-clicked folder.
    The Create Folio view displays.

  4. Enter the folio name in Name field.
  5. Enter the folio description in the Description field. Use the HTML editor to add formatting, links, media, and view the HTML source code.
  6. Drag or upload an image file to the Folio Image field to display as the folio's thumbnail image.
  7. Select categories to associate with the folio.
    Note
    Administrators can click Create Category to create a new category to associate with the folio.
  8. Select a sharing permission in the Sharing drop-down list. Choose one of the following:

    Troubleshooting
    Having many items marked Specific Groups and Users may degrade performance, especially on large sites.
