Configuring folder types
You can create folder types to differentiate folder appearance and functionality. For example, using folder types is a good way 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 Manual Test Run Suite folder types for test case management. See Using test suites to manage manual tests. These folder types cannot be edited, inactivated, or deleted.
