Create and Manage Folders

Within the SAS Folders hierarchy, you can create a customized folder structure that meets the information management, data sharing, and security requirements of your organization. You can set up folders under the

Shared
                  Data

folder that is provided, or you can create additional folders under SAS Folders.

To create a folder:

Click the Folders tab in SAS Management Console.
Right-click the parent folder (the location where you want the folder to be created), and select NewFolder.
In the New Folder Wizard, specify a name for the folder and click Finish.

To assign permissions to the folder, see Viewing and Assigning Permissions.

Here are some basic guidelines for creating folders:

Keep the folder structure as simple as possible. A simple folder structure makes your system easier to navigate and easier to administer.
Folders should be organized the way your work is organized. For example, you could set up folders for specific divisions or departments, specific business activities, or specific geographic regions.
Develop a folder organization that reflects the access rules that you want to enforce. By assigning permissions to folders (rather than individual objects), you can easily restrict access to content.
