Maintaining an organised and efficient filing system in Lucidity Intranet's Filing Cabinet often requires adjusting your folder structure as your organisation's needs evolve. This guide will demonstrate how to easily move, copy, and delete folders, empowering you to keep your digital filing system flexible, up-to-date, and optimised for your team's document management needs.
1. Moving folders
Folders can be moved so they sit under different parent folders.
To move a folder, from the Filing Cabinet tab:
- Select the relevant folder from the directory.
- Click Move in the top right-hand corner.
- In the pop-up window, select the new location for the folder.
- Click OK to move the folder.
2. Copying folders
If a similar folder needs to be created, an existing folder can be copied. All content of the folder will also be copied, including sub-folders and files.
To copy a folder, from the Filing Cabinet tab:
- Select the relevant folder from the directory.
- Click Copy in the top right-hand corner.
- From the pop-up window, select the location for the new folder.
- Click OK.
- Navigate to the new folder within the directory.
- Rename the folder by using the edit function.
3. Deleting folders
To delete a folder, from the Filing Cabinet tab:
- Select the relevant folder from the directory.
- Click Delete in the top right-hand corner.
- Click OK to confirm the deletion.
Important: Once a folder has been deleted, it cannot be retrieved. If a folder is deleted by mistake, it will need to be recreated. Always use the delete function with caution. An alternative to deleting folders that are no longer required is to create an archived folder. Use the archived folder as the parent for any folders no longer required.
