Folders

Definition

A folder is a SAP KW container in which info objects (structures and content objects) are stored. Each folder is assigned to a certain area in SAP KW, for example, Training, Documentation, QM Manual, HTML-Based Documents, or Management. Each info object is assigned to one folder only.

Folder attributes relevant for customers:

• Title (short description of the folder)

• Technical name (language-independent folder name)

• Person responsible

• Folder group (for the authorization check)

• Origin (enhancement in which the folder was created initially)

Use

Folders are used to structure info object storage according to contents and organization.

Folders are assigned to folder groups according to their folder-specific user authorizations.

Only empty folders can be deleted. Exception: Deleting a Folder without Checking.

The assignment of content objects and structures to a folder does not prevent them being used in other folders: They can be used in any number of structures in other folders.
