Review the Desktops in a Folder on page 33
You can see all of the desktops in a particular folder in View Administrator. A desktop inherits the folder
from its pool.
Add a Folder
If you want to delegate the administration of specific desktops or pools to different administrators, you must
create folders to subdivide your desktops or pools. If you do not create folders, all desktops and pools reside
in the root folder.
You can have a maximum of 100 folders, including the root folder.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select Inventory > Pools.
2 From the Folder drop-down menu on the command bar, select New Folder.
3 Type a name and description for the folder and click OK.
The description is optional.
What to do next
Move one or more desktop pools to the folder.
Move a Desktop Pool to a Different Folder
After you create a folder to subdivide your desktop pools, you must manually move desktop pools to the new
folder. If you decide to change the way your desktop pools are subdivided, you can move desktops pools from
one folder to another.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select Inventory > Pools and select the pool.
2 From the Folder drop-down menu, select Change Folder.
3 Select the folder and click OK.
View Administrator moves the pool to the folder that you selected.
Remove a Folder
You can remove a folder if it does not contain inventory objects. You cannot remove the root folder.
Prerequisites
If the folder contains inventory objects, move the objects to another folder or to the root folder. See “Move a
Desktop Pool to a Different Folder,” on page 32.
Procedure
1 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Administrators.
2 On the Folders tab, select the folder and click Remove Folder.
3 Click OK to remove the folder.
