Overview

Children Folders and sub-folders are the entities with the Configuration Tree folders, and sub-folders. A child folder is essentially an individual sub-section of the Configuration Tree.

Managing Folders

When Witness is first installed it creates a number of default folders including default configuration entities. These system folders cannot be deleted or moved, however new folders can be created under any of the top level system folders. Non-system folders can be deleted however they must be empty.

You can create new entities, such as areas, by selecting the folder you want to store the area in and once in configuration mode, selecting the New button. When creating new entities in a folder, you will only be given the option of entities which are allowed in the selected folder.

Some objects are limited to specific system folders, for example users, however other objects, such as areas, can be created in several different folders. Entities and entire folders, including their contents, can be easily dragged to other folders. However the same rules apply, you will not be allowed to drag items into system folders where they are not supported.
