Create a New Data Folder

You can create new data folders, which are data sets within an application.  To create a new data folder:

1. From the dashboard, click the Manage Applications link. The Manage Applications screen appears with a list of active applications.

2. The Manage Applications screen appears with a list of active applications. Select the application that will receive the new data folder.

Note: You may place your cursor over the icons  shown on the screen to read a message for the application.

3. Click the Granted User Groups tab. The list of user groups that have been granted access to the application appears.
   
4.   Select the user group that you wish to receive the new data folder, then click MANAGE ACCESS.
   
   
5. The Set Up Application screen appears.  In the Available Data Folders section, confirm that the desired data folder does not already exist in the Granted Data Folders list.
6. Click  CREATE NEW INSTITUTION.

7. The Create New Institution screen appears.  Enter the required information, then click CREATE DATA FOLDER.
   
   
8. The Set Up Applications screen appears again, with the new data folder added—in a temporary state—to the list of Granted Data Folders for the application.  Click SAVE CHANGES to complete the assignment to the application.

Note:  If you instead click Cancel on this screen, the new data folder will not be assigned to the application, but will still have been created in the system.
