Managing Folders

5
A folder is an organizational object. You can use folders to structure your polices and policy groups
into a manageable hierarchy for your ZENworks
each type of policy (Browser Bookmarks policy, Dynamic Local User policy, and so forth), or, if
applications are department-specific, you might want a folder for each department (Accounting
Department folder, Payroll Department folder, and so forth).
The following sections contain additional information:
Section 5.1, "Creating Folders," on page 65
Section 5.2, "Renaming or Moving Folders," on page 65
Section 5.3, "Deleting a Folder," on page 66

5.1 Creating Folders

1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 Click New > Folder.
3 Provide a unique name for your folder. This is a required field.
When you name an object in ZENworks Control Center (folders, policies, policy groups, and so
forth), ensure that the name adheres to the naming conventions; not all characters are
supported. For more information on naming conventions, see
ZENworks Control
Administration Reference.
4 Type the name or browse to and select the folder that will contain this folder in the ZENworks
Control Center interface. This is a required field.
5 Provide a short description of the folder's contents.
6 Click OK.

5.2 Renaming or Moving Folders

Use the Edit drop-down list on the Policies page to edit an existing object. To access the Edit drop-
down list, you must select an object by clicking the check box next to the object's name in the list.
Depending on the type of object you select, you can rename, copy, or move the selected object. For
example, if you select a Policy object, you can rename, copy, and move the policy. If you select a
Folder object, you can rename or move the Folder object, but not copy it. If the option is dimmed,
that option is not available for the selected object type.
Some actions cannot be performed on multiple objects. For example, if more than one check box is
selected, the Rename option is not available from the Edit menu.
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 In the Policies list, select the box next to the folder's name, then click Edit.
3 Select an option:
