Purpose and function of asset folders
Asset folders sort and hold assets, such as documents and images. Once assets are uploaded and published, CMS Lite users can link to these assets on CMS Lite pages.
Naming restrictions
Because folder names form part of the Human Readable URL (HRU), asset folders names are restricted to:
- Alpha characters (a-z A-Z)
- Numbers (0-9)
- Hyphens (-)
- Underscores (_)
- Ampersands (&)
A validation error message will be displayed if the criteria is not met.
