Folders (pdpdm3500m000)

Use this session to view and maintain the folders associated with a project.

Folders are revision-controlled objects that are intrinsic to the functional processes supported by Infor PLM. You can also link items, files and documents as a reference to the folder.

You can use filters in the Views menu to filter the folders based on the status of the folder. Whenever you apply one of the filter options, the same filter is applicable when you access the session next time.
