Specify a folder name

On the folder details page, you can specify a folder name. This name is used to identify the folder and is displayed in the tree view in the Content Explorer. In presentation mode, this name is displayed on the card that represents this folder.

Free-typed folder name and description

  1. Specify a folder name in the Name field. This name is used as the default English (en-US) name to check for uniqueness in the folder path and as a fallback if the application is displayed in another language. If your language is not set to English (en-US) in the Infor OS Portal User Settings, the name you specify is saved for your current language, as well as for en-US when the folder is first added.
  2. After you save the folder, you can edit the folder name for another language. To do that, change your preferred user language and edit the folder name for that language. In this case, other languages are not affected.
    Note: Free-typed folder names and descriptions are saved in the Registry under defaultCategory. Administrators can use the registry reorganization tool to move these entries to a subcategory under Folders. If assisted modeling mapping exists for this folder or its parent root folder, the values are saved in a predefined subcategory under Folders.

Select a registry entry

  1. You can select a predefined folder name from the Registry. Click the Select Registry Entry icon next to the Name field. If an assisted modeling mapping is defined for this folder or its root folder parent, a predefined category is selected, else you must select a category where the folder name entries are stored.
  2. Select a registry entry with an English (en-US) translation for the folder name. Alternatively, add a new registry entry with at least a title in English (en-US). This name is used to verify the folder name uniqueness and serves as a fallback if the application is displayed in another language.
  3. When the folder name is linked to a predefined registry entry, all language translations provided for this entry are used as the folder name for each language. See also Content translation.
    Note: The folder name uniqueness is guaranteed only for the English (en-US) language.
