Folders

You can use folders to organize your flows. For example, you can use folders to group flows by project, by source of data, or by other meaningful grouping.

Limitations:

• Each flow in a folder is an independent object. Permissions can vary between flows in a folder and should be reviewed after adding them.
• You can only move flows that you own.
• You cannot create nested folders.

Actions:

• To create a folder, click the Create button. Then, select Create Folder. Enter a name and description for the folder. These values appear in the application. Click Create.

  Tip: When you move a flow, you can optionally choose to create a new folder for it.

• To move a flow to a folder, select Move from the context menu on the right side of the screen for the flow.
  • To move the flow, select the name of the flow. Click Move.
  • To search folder names, enter your search string in the Search textbox.
  • To move the flow into a new folder, click Create new folder. Enter a meaningful name and description for the folder. Select Move to new folder.

• To delete a folder, select Delete Folder from the context menu on the right side of the screen.

  This step deletes the folder and all flows within it. This step cannot be undone.

For folders, the following options are available in the context menu.

• Import flow: Import the exported flow to  Designer Cloud Educational
