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 in the Documentation branch of the vault:

• 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

• 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 as described in Run a Workflow Transition on a Project. Meridian Enterprise supports project folders only in the Projects branch of the vault.

The maximum number of documents or sub-folders that appear when expanding a folder is set to 250. This optimal value was determined in performance tests.
