MetaShare will present all documents in a document library, regardless if they reside in the document library’s root folder or if they are located in sub folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a document library has folders and the workspace’s workspace configuration is defined to show “Folder” as a document filter<\/a>, users will, inside a workspace, be able to filter on the document folders as if they were any ordinary document metadata tags. When filtering on any folder, documents that are located in the selected folder and any of it\u2019s subfolders will be shown in the document list. If the selected folder has sub-folders these will also be shown under the selected folder and a small triangular icon to the left of the folder will displayed, indicating that the folder is expanded:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Document folders can also be shown as columns in the workspaces’ document views<\/a> and if you click on any of the folders in the view, you will filter on the specific folder:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents can also be uploaded<\/a>, created<\/a> or moved<\/a> to a folder, using the appropriate document functions in MetaShare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create folders in a workspace, follow these instructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
