   Warning

   Note

   • Folder view administration is available from the Operations Console only.
   • When adding a folder, the Available Top Level Views shows only top level views. Access rights to folder view applies to all child views in the folder.
   • Individual views cannot be moved from one folder to another, without moving the view to the top level first.
   • If a folder view is deleted, the children in the folder are not deleted. Instead, all the immediate children are moved to the top level.
   • A view can be a child of only one folder view. This is different in Group behavior, where one group can be a subgroup of many other groups.
