Set up Designer-Specific Folders

You can design the folder structure at your discretion. For fine-grained access, design the structure so you can specify a path to objects of a specific type in the policy for that automation object. To restrict a user (or group) to specific object types or to specific object types in specified projects, set up a folder structure that allows such a restriction. For example, set up a Work In Progress (WIP) folder withe a folder for each designer.

WIP/designer1

Each designer has a separate working folder. Each designer folder contains a set of folders, one for each type of automation object on which the developer works. A folder for dataset can include datasets for multiple projects that a single designer developed.

/project1/releaseVersion1

Each project has a specific folder, with a subfolder for each release version. When a release version of a process is ready to transition to production, copy the objects from the working folders to the release version folder. The release version folder is the folder that the product exports as a content package.

Follow these steps:

  1. Browse to CA Process Automation and log in.
  2. Click the Library tab.
  3. Select the root folder, click New, and then select Folder.
  4. Enter a short name for the new folder.
  5. Repeat these steps as appropriate to create the necessary folder structure.
