Create New Folder

Description

Folders are used to organize signatures. As simple as this sounds - it provides a great benefit when you want to restrict specific signatures to be used by specific users or groups. For example, in a large organization with a range of businesses, you may want to ensure that the teams don't edit or view the signatures of the other businesses. For this purpose, you create folders and apply rules.

NOTE: You can view all signatures and folders you have permission to edit. If you don't have the appropriate permissions, you will see a banner at the top with a message that the signatures and folders you don't have permission to modify are hidden. Please get in touch with your Exclaimer Cloud Administrator to gain access. For more information on permissions, please see the Difference between Editors and Admin? 

If you have the appropriate permissions and you don't have any folders set up, then all your signatures are displayed under the All Signatures tab in the sequence order of how they will be processed, along with details of any signature rules applied.

Example: The following screenshot shows all signatures in the All Signatures tab:

NOTE: You can add a maximum of 100 objects at the root level, that is, in the All Signatures tab. An 'object' is a signature or a folder. Within each folder, you can have up to 100 signatures.

To manage the signature content with great flexibility, you can add and, if required, restrict user access to specific folders. For example, you can create folders for different brands, products, regions, offices, departments, roles, editors, and so on, depending on your organization's demands.  

The process of creating and managing folders is very simple, but you need to be aware of the following key points:
  • As an Exclaimer Cloud Administrator, you can set View and Edit user permissions to access the folders. 

  • You can restrict folder access to a single user or multiple users - if no users are defined for a folder, then it can be accessed by everyone.

  • You can, if required, change the sequence of how the folders and the signatures within them are processed. 

  • You can only create one subfolder within a root folder. 

How to access it?

  1. From the left-hand pane, click Signatures, then from the right-hand pane, select the All Signatures tab.

    The above screenshot displays that there are no signatures within this folder.

    But, if you open a folder (which already has signatures) from within the All Signatures tab, you will see a list of all signatures that exist within the selected folder.
