Subfolder Structure

With the subfolder structure feature, existing folders and files in SharePoint can be conveniently duplicated or replicated by simply configuring the path of the main folder in the Entity configuration.

This feature is highly versatile and can be used in various scenarios:

  • Policy and Document Management: Create a folder with subfolders containing different documents such as policies, product assets, terms and conditions, and more. This ensures organized and efficient document management.

  • Onboarding New Customers or Team Members: An executive can easily duplicate a structured folder in SharePoint for newly onboarded customers or new team members. This can include a sheet of Points of Contact (POCs), training materials, and other essential documents.

The possibilities are endless, providing a streamlined approach to managing and replicating folder structures and their contents within SharePoint.

Note: This feature is applicable when the document location is created in the CRM, this gets created in the following ways – Attach2Dynamics UI, Real-time, Bulk Migration Job, Auto-create folder structure, documents, or files tab.
