The Folders/WebDAV component is available as an extra component for download from the support site

The Folders component sets up an interface to Oracle Content Server in the form of virtual folders (also called hierarchical folders).

Virtual folders enable you to create a multilevel folder structure. Virtual folders provide two main benefits:

■ Users can find content by drilling down through a familiar folder-type interface.

■ Users can apply default metadata to content items by checking them in through a particular folder.

The following structure is used for the Folders component:

■ Each Oracle Content Server instance has a common set of virtual folders. Any change to the folders is applied systemwide.

■ There is one default system-level folder, called Contribution Folders. If you are using a custom folders interface, folders for these products may also appear at the system level of the Folders hierarchy.

■ The system administrator can change the name of a system-level folder, but cannot delete it or add a custom system-level folder except through changes to the database. (Deleting a system-level folder disables it, but does not remove it from the system.)

■ Each folder in the hierarchy contains content items that have the same numeric Folder value, which is assigned automatically upon creation of the folder.

Changing the value of the Folder field for a content item places it in a different folder.

■ The number of folders and number of files in each folder can be limited by the system administrator so that virtual folder functions do not affect system performance.
