How to: |
Folders contain all repository content. Whenever a user creates a folder, it will always be created as a private folder. If the creator is permitted the necessary privileges, folders and their contents can be shared with other users or published for general use.
Folders have both titles and file names. The title is what is typically displayed to users. The file name is used as an internal reference by WebFOCUS BUE to provide an unambiguous context. Titles can be duplicated within a container, but file names cannot.
The folder path may have up to 1,040 characters for the path information (not including the object name), and up to 64 characters for the object name. For example, a folder may be named: /WFC/Repository/AmericaBank/Finance. In this example, /WFC/Repository/AmericaBank/ is 28 characters and Finance is 7 characters.
