How to Add a Folder

Folders are assets that are used to contain and organize images, documents and webpages. When inside a site, the Site Content menu on the left is where your folders and their contained assets are displayed.

Instructions

  1. In the Site Content tree on the left, click on the folder name where you wish to create the new folder.

  2. Look for a red plus sign in the topmost header area of the page, and click on Add Content.

  3. Inside the Add Content menu, select New Folder from the dropdown menu.

  4. Fill in the Folder Name and Display Name.



    • The Folder Name will generate the page URL, therefore, it should be all lowercase letters separated by hyphens, without underscores, special characters (e.g. #$%$%^&), or any spaces, e.g. http://demo.nmsu.edu/about/board-and-directors, not http://demo.nmsu.edu/about_board&directors.

    • The Display Name will generate the labels for your page breadcrumbs and can include capital letters, special characters, and spaces.

    • The Title will generate the labels for your folder in the Site Content tree on the left. The Title and the Display Name can be the same.



  5. Click Submit to finish.

  6. Your new folder should be highlighted in the asset tree to the left. Publish the folder.

Select a folder by hovering over the asset name and clicking on the arrow (>) that appears to the right of the asset name. The contents of that folder will display on the right hand side of the page.
