Folders
Folder is a directory containing related process or documents in the Emakin. The left side of the screen contains the navigation menu for folders.
Starting a new process
After selecting a folder from the navigation menu, all accessible processes are listed on the page. Clicking the process name will start the process. Some processes may be hidden, due to user not having the permission to access, or they have been disabled by the administrator.
Managing a Folder
The folder toolbar is used to manage the folder properties. This toolbar is only visible when the user has a “Write” permission for the respective folder.
New Folder
Creates a new folder in the current folder.
Edit
Changes the folder’s name.
Permissions
Allows editing who can access the current folder with what kind of permission. Folder permissions can be specified as: “Read“, “Execute“, “Write“ and “All“
Security Profile
Used to give permissions to users for reaching the folder. If a security group doesn't exist, system uses the default group.
Identity
Specifies the responsible person, unit or a group.
Permissions
Permission specifies the authorization level of users. There are four authorization levels which are Read, Execute, Write and All.
Read allows user to see folders, contents inside and start tasks.
Execute grants the same permissions a process administrator has. Users with this permission can execute any action provided to process administrators such as configuring the settings page of a process.
Write allows user to access the process design screen and make changes on it.
All permission consists of all three permissions listed above.
Clicking the little downward arrow next to the Identity selection, a field opens up with a details panel that consists of the three subtitles. These are "Type", "Begins at" and "Expires at".
Type: consists of the two options for managing identity's permission. Those are allow and deny.
Begins At (optional): start date of a permission period. If type of allow you can access that folder after begins date. If type of deny, you can't access that folder after begins date.
Expires At (optional): end date of a permission period. If type of allow you can't access that folder after expires date. If type of deny, you can access that folder after expires date.

Delete
Deletes the current folder and its child folders.
When a folder is deleted, all of the related processes and tasks are automatically removed from the system.
This action cannot be undone. Therefore, it is recommended that instead of deleting a folder, best option would be to delete the user identities from the access control list in order to hide it from users.
