Directories, represented as blue folders in C8 Health, contain knowledge. Inside, you can add binders, sections and sub-directories. Unlike binders, directories do not directly contain individual documents, videos, images and other items. Add a directory if you want the folder to contain subfolders; add a binder to hold individual items.
For more on the difference between directories and binders, see here.
A directory can include multiple subdirectories. For example, within the section “Department of Acute Medicine,” you might want to create a directory named “Emergency Department.”
To add a directory, make sure that admin mode is turned on.
- Go to the section where you want to add the directory
- Press Add binder / directory
- Click Directory in the Select type field at the top of the pop-up
- Type in the Directory name
- Select the directory's owner(s) using the Owners drop-down menu. If needed, you can add new owner(s)
- (Optional) Select the directory's content type, specialty, subspecialty, target audience(s), and site(s)*
- Press Create
* Selecting a directory's site(s) is only available if your institution uses site management.
To save you time, the created binder will automatically inherit the owner, content type, specialty and subspecialty from the section it's in, though you can change these!
Similarly, content within your directory will have the directory's specialty, subspecialty, owner and target audience pre-set, though these can be changed!
