What is folder management ? Folder in layman term means something that we can represent as location or building or LAN Room where we can group our AP. In my case, I named it based on geographical location and buildings. Currently, I'm managing a nation wide wireless infrastructure. It is important to group all the APs in order to simplify all our works. It helps us to manage the reporting and also identifying which AP is currently down.

Top is the default parent folder. You can create your own scheme on how to rearrange the folder. In my case, I rearrange start from Location, Building Name. I will expend the tree with another sub folder named as a LAN Room. You can see the hierarchal structure and it is really manageable. This folder management can help us to set who can have access to manage the remote site and who can monitor the specific location. I will update it on next post.
