The "Structure" helps you to maintain an overview of the content on your platform. It allows you to create a hierarchical tree structure made up of folders and shortcuts. For a better understanding of the relation between structure and services, read through chapter "Design of the System". In order to create a folder, proceed as follows: (1) In "Structure" navigate to the folder where you want to create a new folder.
(2) Now, you have two possibilities:
(a) Click on "add" next to the folder title.
or
(b) Click on "create a new fact" in the options area (left column).

(3) Choose "folder" from the list.
(4) A new interface opens:

(4.1) |
Insert the folder title. |
(4.2) |
Insert a shortname that will be displayed in the pathline. |
(4.3) |
Choose if the folder will have the features of a tag. |
(4.4) |

Define what the language of the contents of the folder will be. The chosen language will be pre-selected by default whenever you create a fact in the folder. Afterwards, users can limit their search requests to a specific language. |

Please, note: some of the features described above require activation by your platform administrator.
