You can add marketing content, customer segments,
activities, e-Marketing Spots or subfolders to a folder. You
cannot include objects within a folder other than the specific object
type for the folder. For example, you cannot include content in a
folder that is for the marketing activities object type.
Before you begin
If you are using extended sites, ensure that you understand how
folders work in extended sites. For more information, see Folders in extended sites.
Procedure
- Open the Marketing tool.
- In the explorer view, expand the folder hierarchy for the
marketing object.
- Click the folder that you want to add a subfolder or marketing
object within.
The contents of the folder displays in the main work area.
Tip: You
can view a list of objects or a list of folders within the folder or directory. Click the
Show Marketing Objects List or
Show Marketing Object Folders List.
- Use the utilities view to find the folder that you want
to include as a subfolder or the marketing object that you want to
include in the folder. Drag the object or folder from the utilities
view into the marketing object folder.
- For a marketing object, choose an option:
- Add
- Adds a shared reference of the marketing object to the parent
folder. Any change to the marketing object causes all shared references
of the object to be changed as well.
- Copy
- Clones a new object in the selected parent folder. This new object
contains the same properties of the original copy. Any changes to
the copy do not affect the original object. When you select to copy
an object, the object properties view opens for editing. Change the
properties if necessary, and save your changes.
- For a folder, choose an option:
- Copy
- This folder contains the same marketing objects as the original.
The subfolders in the original and the marketing objects within the
subfolders are not copied. Any changes to this copy do not affect
the original folder. The object properties view opens for editing.
Change the properties if necessary, and save your changes.
- Move
- The folder and all of its contents are moved to the new parent.
Note: You cannot move a subfolder to make the subfolder
a top-level folder. To make a subfolder a top-level folder, you must
remove the entry in the parent folder table within the properties
view for the subfolder.
A folder can contain multiple subfolders, but a subfolder
can have only one parent folder. You cannot have multiple subfolders
with the same name in a folder.
- Click Save. Verify that your added
marketing object or subfolder displays in the parent folder.
