Creating Your Own Smart Folder - Part 1
Learn the skills to make your own smart folder
To start with, I'm going to show you how to create a Smart Folder that will display all News Items found on your website. This is one of the most common Smart Folders found on a site, and you may in fact already have one on your site.
- Find a place on your site to keep your Smart Folders.
- Click on the Add to Folder tab and select Smart Folder from the list.
- Notice that you're now working in the Edit tab for this content item. This screen is for naming the Smart Folder and choosing display options.
- Notice that you're now working in the Edit tab for this content item. This screen is for naming the Smart Folder and choosing display options.
- Give your Smart Folder a Title and Description.
- You may now choose to Limit Search Results (optional)
- Limiting results only limits the number of results per page, not the total number of results found
- You may also choose to display results in a table. This is optional (the default display is a vertical list) so you can play around with this if you like.
- Push Save to create the Smart Folder.
This completes the first part of building a Smart Folder. Go on to the next page to learn how to set the search parameters on your new Smart Folder.
