The service "Structure" helps you to maintain an overview of the
content on your platform. It allows you to create a hierarchical tree
structure made up of folders and shortcuts.
For a better understanding of the relation between structure and services, read through chapter "Design of the System".
In order to create a folder, proceed as follows:
(1) In "Structure" navigate to the position where you want to create a new folder.
(2) Click on "add a folder" in the options area (left column).
![users - box bearbeiten [en] - 210523.6 users - box bearbeiten [en] - 210523.6](/_101_17401957620121509193547127704687_/images/210523.0)
(3) Insert a title and a shortname. The shortname will be displayed in the pathline.
(4) Choose one of two list layouts:
(a)
|
standard list
|
simple list with icon, title, metadata
(e.g. author, publication date, infoID,...)
| 
|
(b)
|
thumbnail list
|
list with additional image preview for pictures and albums
|  |
If
you do not see the drop-down menu, the standard layout will be used.
Contact your platform administrator to activate this feature.
(5)
Moreover, you can add a description for the folder if you want to.
Descriptions are displayed above and/or below the list of content items
as soon as you open the folder.
(6) If you click in the checkbox "Enable previous/next", links to
the previous and next fact within the folder will be displayed at the
bottom of each fact.
(7) Click on "next >>".
(8) Set permissions:
You will see an overview of all groups. There you can set the permissions. Usually your Platform administrator ("p-admin") has already provided you with a preselection which you can accept or adapt.
 | read | Read-permitted groups can only see the folder, but they cannot edit, hide or delete it. |

|
work
|
Work-permitted
groups can add facts to the folder. However, they cannot modify the
folder itself (i.e. change the folder title, edit the folder
description). |
 | modify | Modify-permitted groups can see the folder, change its title and description and delete it.

(9) Click on "preview".
(10) If you are satisfied with the preview, click on "publish".
