A Folder is a container for organizing FlexDeploy applications and projects. A Folder also provides a construct for identifying characteristics that apply to all applications and sub-folders contained within it (e.g. security, approvals, notifications, and notificationswindows).
FlexDeploy comes pre-configured with a single root folder called FlexDeploy. All sub-folders and applications must be created as a child to the FlexDeploy root folder.

Folder security can be managed similar to Project Security, except Folder security setup applies to all applications/projects under it, unless overridden by applications/projects. |
Folders and projects are created inside of the FlexDeploy root folder.

Editing a Folder
To edit a folder, 1️⃣ ensure the folder you want to edit is selected in the tree and 2️⃣ click the Manage Folder button.
...
Doing so will display several tabs, the first being General, where you can edit basic Folder information like the name and parent folder.
...
For information on managing the additional configuration on the subsequent tabs see Managing Folder Configuration.
Managing Folder Configuration
Folders do more than just organizing Projects. Each Folder in the Folder tree can define configuration that applies to each of each “children” in the tree. The simplest example is adding a notification to the root FlexDeploy folder.
...
With that in place, each child folder automatically “inherits” that notification. We can see this by selecting a child folder and view the Notifications.
...
In the above example we can see Folder 0JIRA is inheriting a Notification from the FlexDeploy root folder.
Overriding Folder Configuration
In the case where a Folder wants to define its own configuration or maybe just remove the inherited configuration altogether, click the Override toggle on the Folder.
...
At this point we can add/delete/edit any configuration as needed.

Overriding ConfigurationOnce a folder is Overriding configuration - all children will inherit this new overridden configuration. |
