## Folders

In SSA ECM, folders are objects that can contain documents and engineering items. Folders provide users with functionality very similar to documents.

The Folders page enables you to view all folders that belong to the project that you are authorized to work in, with their child items. When you first open the Folders page, you must run a query to add the folders that must be displayed. For this purpose, you can either define a simple query using only one attribute, or an advanced query using a combination of attributes. For more details, see Using the Query options.

The selected folders are displayed sorted in ascending folder number. To also sort the page by revisions, description, status, or folder type, click the title at the top of the appropriate column.

On the Folders page, you can:

- Select a folder's check box and and export folder data by downloading or sending by e-mail to a business partner. See Export data.
- Click a folder ID and use the folder's navigation pane to look up folder-specific information, including the following:

- Attachments - The Attachments page enables you to add or remove items and/or documents. See Add an item or document to a folder.
- Child folders
- Parent folders
- Reference folders
- Projects
- Revisions
