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 manual test runs to manual test run suites. You cannot add other item types to these types of folders.

Adding existing items to folders

You can add existing items to folders from the Folders list, item lists, and when working in items.

Adding new items to folders

You can create new items and add them to folders at the same time from the Folders list.

5. Save the item.
