Background Information
Before creating a manifest folder hierarchy, let’s go over folder management background information about the default systems directories, folder types and folder permissions.
Systems Directories
There are about six systems folders available in the folder tree panel, namely; Collection, Enterprise, Catalogue, Folders, Unfiled Folder, Manifest and Deleted.
The default directories in the Folder Tree Panel are described in the table below.
