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.

  1. Find a place on your site to keep your Smart Folders.
  2. 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.
  3. Give your Smart Folder a Title and Description.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
