			<ListItem>Delete a folder</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Link the ERP objects defined in SSA ERP ODM. Use the folder content function to place the object in the folder.</ListItem>

		<Paragraph>You can use folders to create a multiple-level knowledge base that suits the purpose of the organization. The family (profile) of the folder determines the list of objects a user can attach to the folder. The content profile of a folder defines the type of objects a folder can contain and is set by the system administrator. Users from different areas can store different object types and instances in a folder.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>Folders undergo a lifecycle mechanism. The object links to the folders can be copied to the new folder after the approved folder is revised. The contents of the folder cannot be modified after the folder is locked and can be modified after the folder is unlocked. If the folder is of the type Personal, you cannot add or delete the object links. You can add and/or delete object links for all folders of the type Shared.</Paragraph>
