Place - Introduction to Folders

Introduction

Place provides you with all the functionality you need to be able to store and manage your assets. As part of this, it is essential to also be able to have a folder structure in which your assets can be stored.

A well-structured taxonomy is essential to the success of your Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. At Papirfly, we recommend utilizing our flexible architecture of category and tag management. This approach enhances the discoverability of assets while allowing your DAM to scale and evolve over time.

Folders 

However, in specific scenarios, a folder-like structure may be beneficial. Folders provide a secure and controlled way to manage and organize assets when strict access limitations are needed.

Folders may be a good fit for the following scenarios

• Sensitive Content: Restricting assets to specific user groups due to confidentiality or sensitivity.
• Regulated Environments: Industries where compliance and regulation demand strict access control and auditing capabilities.
• Complex Permissions: Organizations with intricate permission requirements that cannot be efficiently managed through tags and categories alone.

However, it's worth noting that folders can become restrictive, which may hinder the scalability, discoverability, and flexibility of your DAM as it grows.

Enabling Folders 

If you're considering implementing folders in your DAM, please contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to explore if it's the right solution for your business.

We're continuously gathering and assessing feedback to ensure this functionality delivers value. If you have any insights or suggestions, we encourage you to share them with us.
