Structure

The Template Manager has a tiered design to allow your organisation to set their preferred structure and provides ease of finding the correct document to use.

Name	View	Explanation
Type		The first tier is the Type or Parent folder. The Template folder cannot be edited as this has specific functionality. A document which is saved in the Template folder/ has a type of Template will not be accessible in any document dropdown lists in Vega. These templates can be used to create your documents which will then be saved in the appropriate folder. You can also create your own templates, for example having an e-newsletter template document which can be used as the base for each future newsletter document to ensure consistency.
Folder		The second tier is the subfolder. These are created by the user and you can have as many subfolders in the type as needed by your organisation
Document		You now have your document, the name the document is saved as will be displayed under its corresponding subfolder.
Tags		Each document can have tags assigned to it. These are used to show the purpose of the document within your system and allow you to set filters on specific dropdowns.  See the article on document tags and custom document dropdowns for further information on this great functionality.
