Folders: Edit and Move

07. End Users - Contracts › Contract Attachments › Folders: Edit and Move

Note: Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

1. Overview

Each subfolder listed in a record's Folders panel (on the Attachments & Templates tab) has its own pencil and trash icons next to its file count. The pencil icon, described in the app as "Rename, describe it, or move it", opens a Folder window where you can change the folder's Name, add a Description (shown when you hover over the folder) and choose a different Parent Folder to move it. The trash icon deletes the folder.

Root Folder has neither icon, because it is the record's built-in default location rather than a folder a user created.


2. Key Elements

  • Folders panel: lists Root Folder and any subfolders with their file counts, plus Add folder. Selecting a folder shows its files in the file list.
  • Pencil icon (Rename, describe it, or move it): opens the Folder window for that subfolder.
  • Trash icon (Delete the folder): removes the subfolder.
  • Folder window: Name, Description (optional, shown when you hover over the folder), Parent Folder, Cancel and Save folder.


3. Navigating to a Record's Folders

  1. From the Contract Insight homepage, hover over the Requests/Contracts icon in the left navigation bar and select Contracts.

4. Renaming, Describing or Moving a Folder

  1. In the Folders panel, click the pencil icon next to the subfolder.
  2. In the Folder window, change the Name as needed.
  3. Optionally, enter a Description. It is shown when someone hovers over the folder.
  4. To move the folder, choose a different folder from Parent Folder. The folder moves inside the folder you choose.
  5. Click Save folder, or Cancel to close without changes.

Note: The Parent Folder list shows the folders available on the record. If the record only has Root Folder and one subfolder, Root Folder is the only choice.


5. Deleting a Folder

  1. In the Folders panel, click the trash icon (Delete the folder) next to the subfolder.
  2. Confirm the deletion if prompted.

Note: Deleting a folder is a destructive action. Before deleting, select the folder to check which files it contains, and move any files you want to keep (see "Folders: Move Files").
