Folders

A Meridian vault may contain an unlimited number of folders. Meridian Enterprise folders work very similar to Windows folders. Anything that you can do to a Windows folder, you can do to a Meridian folder:

• Create and rename

• Copy and move

• Delete and restore

• Assign inheritable security to the contents

But Meridian folders are also capable of doing much more than Windows folders:

• The name can be calculated automatically

• The properties of a document can be determined by its parent folders

• They can have custom properties, such as Project Number

• Commands run on a selected folder can apply to all of the documents in the folder

• A special type of folder called a project folder can have a workflow associated with it similar to a document workflow. The workflow can be interlocked with the workflow of the child documents or with the workflow of the parent folder. This requires the Meridian Advanced Project Workflow Module.

• They can be linked to a shared network location where multiple users can edit copies of the same files with certain multi-user applications. The files are automatically synchronized with the vault copies.

The maximum number of documents or sub-folders that appear when expanding a folder is configured in the ItemsPerCall value. A large number of items can affect performance.
