User manual

Both standard and project folders serve as containers for related subfolders.
The main difference between the folder types is that with project folders, you
can designate and change a project information URL. You are also able to
perform more administrative tasks by using the Project Administration tabs
(available only when you are working with a project folder).
Conversely, it may be that you started with one project folder, but the
organization of the project has changed and grown. In that case, all you need
to do is convert the project folder to a standard folder and then create a new
project folder and as many standard folders as you need to support the new
organization of your project.
NOTE Keep in mind that project and standard folders are automatically sorted
and placed in alphabetical order in the tree view. If you want to reposition a
converted folder, you must rename it alphabetically (first letter of new folder name)
for it to appear where you want it in the hierarchical tree view.
For more information see
Converting Project and Standard Folders (page 48).
NOTE It's a good idea to confirm the permission list for a converted folder to make
sure that the list contains the correct individuals and groups, given the new position
of the converted folder in the tree view.
For more information about assigning permission at the project and folder
level, see Setting permissions at the folder or file level (page 137).
Standard Folders
You create and use standard folders and subfolders to organize and store project
information (text files, drawings, links, and notes) for your work environment.
You must have Administrator or Edit permission to create standard folders.
Standard folders and subfolders are yellow folders, so it is easy to distinguish
them from project folders.
If you have Administrator or Edit permission, you can move folders from
project to project. You can also drag files into a folder, create notes, or add
links within a folder.
For more information see
Adding a File (page 176).
NOTE You cannot move folders or project files from one Buzzsaw site to another.
For example, you cannot open two browsers (and two separate sites) and then
drag files between the two sites.
