Configuring folder types

You can create folder types to control the appearance of folders and the type of data displayed for a group of folders. Folder types also provide a way to tag a group of folders used for similar purposes, which is useful for reporting.

Helix ALM includes default folder types that you can use or modify. See Default folder types. You can add other folder types to support your team's process.

Note:  Helix ALM also includes Test Case Suite and Test Run Suite folder types for test case management. See Using test suites. These folder types cannot be edited, inactivated, or deleted.
