Adding items to folders
You can add items to folders to keep items organized. For example, a team lead may add issues for a product component to a public folder so she and other team members can quickly access all issues for the component.
Keep the following in mind:
- You cannot add items directly to the Public or Private folders.
- You cannot add items to public folders you do not have permission to modify or any locked folders, which are indicated by a lock icon. See Managing access to folders.
- You can only add test cases to test case suites and test runs to test run suites. You cannot add other item types to these types of folders.
