      <Paragraph>A folder is a data item
		that contains a group of related objects. Folder Management includes the
		following activities:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>Create a folder: You can create folder and subfolders for
		  various subjects.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Delete a folder</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Link the ERP objects defined in LN ODM. Use the folder
		  content function to place the object in the folder.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <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>
      <Paragraph>To define a folder as personal, you must select the Personal
		check box in the <Link href="/baanerp/dm/fmg/dmfmg0122s000" role="session">Folders (dmfmg0122s000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
