Folders

Folders provide hierarchical organization and access control for content in SignageLab.

Overview

Folders serve two purposes:

1. Organization - Group related content together
2. Permissions - Control who can access content in each folder

Creating Folders

1. Navigate to Administration > Folders
2. Click Add Folder or right-click the folder tree
3. Enter a Name
4. Select a Parent Folder (or root level)
5. Click Save

Folder Permissions

Each folder has its own permission settings:

1. Right-click a folder and select Permissions
2. Assign permissions to user groups:
   • View - Can see content in this folder
   • Edit - Can modify content in this folder
   • Delete - Can remove content from this folder
3. Choose whether permissions are inherited by sub-folders

Using Folders

Assigning Content to Folders

When creating or editing any content (layouts, media, playlists, etc.):

1. Select the target Folder in the form
2. The content inherits the folder's permissions

Moving Content

Drag items between folders or use the edit form to change folder assignment.

Home Folder

Each user has a Home Folder where their content is created by default:

• Set per-user in User Administration
• Users can see content in their home folder and any folders they have permission to access

Multi-Tenancy

Folders enable multi-tenant configurations:

• Create top-level folders for each tenant/client
• Assign user groups to specific folders
• Each tenant only sees their own content
• Share common content via shared folders

Tip

Plan your folder structure before creating content. A well-organized folder hierarchy makes permissions management much easier.
