Designing Folders
Create your folders to organize your jobs and job streams through lines of business or other custom categories.
About this task
The folders help you to create different categories in which you can associate jobs and job streams. You can now define jobs and job streams that are part of the same line of business in the same folder. You can manage user access to folders by setting user or group permissions according to the company policy. Jobs or job streams that are associated to the same folder can be monitored more easily without relying on complicated object naming conventions.
You can also quickly move a set of jobs or job streams that use a specific naming convention into folders that are named after tokens contained in the object names. See Organizing scheduling objects into folders for more information.
