# Managing Folders

Creating a folder structure in Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing helps you to organize entities and business objects, such as campaigns, lists, Web forms, and configuration jobs for importing contacts. You can organize your folder structure by industry segment, geographic region, solution or product line, type of activity or user. You can create multiple, hierarchical levels of folders without any restrictions to the number of folders or the number of levels. The root, or home folder, is at the top level and cannot be changed.

Folders are available to organize campaigns, lists, Web forms, and configuration jobs for importing contacts. You define your folder structure under each of these modules, and you can create the same or different folder structures by module. For example, you can organize lists in folders named for the target audience, while you might want to organize campaigns by product or solution. You can centrally devise a folder structure that takes into account the requirements of all users in an organization and then encourage its use by all users. The folder structure is built as a hierarchical tree.

The defined folder structure appears in the Quick Access Menu. You can collapse or expand the Folders section and the associated subfolders of the Quick Access Menu, as required.

To collapse or expand the folders

- Do one of the following:

  - Click the plus (+) icon next to the folder name to see all your subfolders.

  - Click the minus (-) icon next to the folder name to collapse the subfolders and show only the high-level folders.

You can perform the following tasks in the folders for campaigns. The same tasks apply to the List, Web form, and Contact Import Configuration folders.
