Viewing a folder

Related topics
You can view a folder in View mode which is what public users and visiters to the content area do. Or, if you are managing content in the folder, you'll need to view the folder in Edit mode.
	You must be logged on as an authorized user with the appropriate View Content privileges. However, public users can view folders that are displayed to the public.

To view a folder:

In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab. Navigate to Path: Content Areas > Name of Content Area > Folders. In the Name column, click the desired folder link to display the folder in the content area. Note: If you do not see the folder that you want to work with, this means that you have not been granted the appropriate folder access privileges. See your content area administrator to request folder access. As a visiter to the content area, items that you are authorized to view are displayed. Click any item link to display its content. Viewing the folder in Edit mode If you were granted the Manage Items privilege, you can also perform other folder-related tasks by clicking Edit folder located on the main banner to switch to Edit mode. Beside a folder, you can click any of the available edit tools: edit folder, add sub-folder, delete folder, move folder, and copy folder. Edit Tool Description Edit Folder Click to display the Folder Manager from which you can change various folder properties. Add a Sub-folder Click to display the Folder Wizard to add a sub-folder (folder below the parent folder). Delete Folder Click to delete the folder from the content area. Note: Make sure when deleting a folder since all sub-folders and content items in these folders are also deleted from the content area and database. You cannot undo this action. Move Folder Click to move a folder from the current folder to a destination folder. For more information, see Moving a folder. Copy Folder Click to copy this folder to another folder. For more information, see Copying a folder.

Notes

If you are on the Oracle portal home page, you can view a content area directly by entering the name in the Content Areas portlet and clicking View. Another way to view folders is by clicking Content Area Map from the navigation bar if available. In the Navigator, click the Contents link in the Actions column next to a Content Area link to display its content area objects. You can also access Shared Objects from the Navigator.
