Create Folders

Last Updated: April 07, 2026

You can use folders to organize your printers and printer objects in the Admin Console and the Self-service Portal.

Here are some recommendations for organizing the tree structure:

  • Set up folders by region or location.
  • Split regions by site or state.
  • Split sites by office or floor.

You are the best resource for configuring the tree structure to suit your environment. You can also easily make changes as business needs evolve.
