What is a Folder Structure Diagram?
Folder structure templates (also known as folder structure diagrams) can help you visualize and retain information about how your files and folders are organized on your cloud drives, and on your internal file servers.
How to Create a Folder Structure Diagram?
- Decide how you want your files organized - whether by project, by year, by function, or by client.
- Identify files that get created as part of business processes and files that are used for references (like company registration documents).
- Use the Creately folder structure template, to draw a diagram to organize folders.
- Set up a folder for each type of document, then create subfolders for each topic under the parent folder.
- Place any file that does not fit into other folders, into an uncategorized folder.
- Colour code the folders on the diagram, so that everyone can understand the folder structure easily.
- Define rules for ownership and sharing. Use color codes to map roles to folders. Depending on the nature of the folder, some will be private, some may have access based on department or role, while others may need to be shared across the company and its stakeholders.
- Get your IT team and management to sign off and improve the planned structure by inviting them to collaborate on the folder structure diagram.
- Download your diagrams as SVGs or in print-ready formats or share them with others controlling the access as an editor, viewer, or commenter.
