Create a file/folder structure template

Overview


A folder structure template makes it easy to standardize your folder and file setup in CxPlanner, so you can quickly create consistent projects without starting from scratch every time. This ensures a uniform organization and can save you a lot of time in the long run.


Only users with the company role Admin or Manager can create folder structure templates.


When and why to use this


Setting up folder structure templates helps ensure consistency across your CxPlanner projects. Use this feature to save time and align teams on where to place files.


  • Use when you want to reuse the same folder hierarchy in multiple projects
  • Helps onboard new team members by providing a consistent structure
  • Saves setup time during project creation
  • Templates can be reused or updated as needed
