# What Can I Use Folders For?

## Answer

You can use folders to group your schedules in a meaningful way, organize them hierarchically, and manage them as a group. Within a folder, you can create additional subfolders as well as individual schedules. Using a folder’s status switch, you can activate or deactivate all schedules and subfolders inside it at once. With a dialog, you can easily assign individual schedules to a folder or remove them by moving them back to the root level. This way, folders provide clear organization and save time on recurring actions.

## Accessing the Function

Navigate to **Schedule** to view your schedules. In the header, you'll find the **Create New Folder** button, which you can use to add a new folder. To assign a schedule to a folder or change its assignment, use the **Assign Folder** function from the three-dot menu next to each schedule.

## Settings & Options

Clicking **Create New Folder** opens the dialog to create a folder. Here, you can enter a name for the folder under **Folder Name** and select a parent folder under **Folder**. If you do not want to assign a parent folder, you can choose the **Do Not Assign to Any Folder** option. Click **Save** to create your folder.

More functions for existing folders are available in the row menu, accessible via the three dots next to the folder:

- With **Edit Schedule Folder**, you can change the folder's name or move it under another folder
- with **Delete Schedule Folder** you can delete the folder along with all contained subfolders and schedules.

Next to each folder name, you’ll find a switch that lets you activate or deactivate all contents of the folder.

If you want to assign a schedule to a folder, use the **Assign Folder** option in the three-dot menu next to a schedule. You can select both parent and subfolders for the assignment.
