Folder ID - this item is the unique ID number given to this folder. This item can not be edited and is used by tech support to determine folder identification
Permission ID - this item is the permission set ID either set in this object or inherited by it from a parent object
Database ID - this item is the unique ID number given to the database storing this folder. This item cannot be edited and is used by tech support to determine database and folder identification
Connection Path - this item provides information on the location and connection path for this folder. This item cannot be edited and is used by tech support to determine database and folder identification

Auto Indexing Variables - In this field, you can customize user-defined auto index variable that will override the index sets defaults. A user-defined variable is simply a customized location to store information. In the cases below, the user-defined variables that can be customized are specific to the index sets.
For example, if you use {FolderName} as the default index value for your subject field, but in one particular folder you want to automatically have a different value appear, you would enter {FolderName}=My Name. Now, when you add a document, the subject field will show "My Name" instead of the default name of the folder.
This feature can also be used with auto incremental numbers that are unique for different folders. Just enter in {MyVar}={+100+) into each folder’s "Auto Indexing Variables" field (found in General Properties) and assign {MyVar} to your index set’s field properties under the column labeled ”r;Use this value as value when adding a new document.” Now, each folder will have its own auto incrementing values.
Finally, this feature can also be used if you want to use the same value as the last value entered for the selected folder. You would simply enter in {MyVar}=Last entered data, into the folder’s ”r;Auto Indexing Variables” field and then assign {MyVar} to your index set’s field properties under the column called ”r;Use last entered value when adding a new document.” This will automatically put the last entered characters into the index set.
see User Defined Variables for more information.
See Auto Indexing variables for more information.
Default Index Set - The Folder’s Default Index Set can be selected from the drop list.
Replace default folder settings on all child objects - checking this box will change the default Index Set on all child objects.
Permissions - security is not available in Personal or Small Business
Permissions allow you to add users and groups and set security properties for users and groups for the Folder
See the Security/Users/Groups help item for more information on how to add users and groups to a Folder.
See Security/Folder Permissions for more information about setting Folder permissions.
Tip:
Permissions are generally inherited from the Library. To change permissions for the Folder object you must uncheck the Inherit permissions from parent box before setting new permissions for users or groups.
