Create a Channel Folder

If you expect to create a large number of channels, then consider grouping related channels into channel folders. You can create subfolders within folders, thereby creating a folder hierarchy to which access controls can be applied. For more information, see the SAS Management Console Help.

Note: Currently it is not possible to move an existing channel into a folder or from one folder to another. Plan ahead to avoid having to delete and recreate channels.

To create channel folders, follow these steps:

From the SAS Management Console navigation tree, expand the Publishing Framework node.
Select and expand the desired metadata repository node.
If you are creating a top-level folder, then select Channels. If you are creating a subfolder, then navigate to and select the desired parent folder.
Right-click Channels and then select New Folder.

The New Channel Folder wizard window appears.
Enter a name for the new channel folder and then click Next. The new folder is created and the metadata definition information is displayed.
Click Finish.
