11.4    Folders

Folders help you manage your documents and messages and organize group-specific objects. You can even link archiving systems and integrate third-party software if the provider offers software that can be licensed for SAP systems.

The Business Workplace provides several work environments to process documents and messages. To view the contents of a work environment, click the required work environment in the folder tree; the system will display the corresponding folder content list (Figure 11.5).

The work environments are mapped through the buttons described in Table 11.3.

	Shared folders	Stores group-specific or cross-enterprise documents and messages in these folders

By right-clicking the Private Folders object, you can create subfolders for your personal document administration so you can manage your documents and messages individually.
