Folder advanced

This read only field gives a reference for the set of processes that define the functionality of the folder.

This read only field provides a unique identifier for the folder.

Links establish relationships between the folder and another folder. The type of relationship is indicated by the link reference.

Link references that start with "publish:" specify rules for how events and messages from this folder, or from tasks within it, are published to other folders.

Some modules use publication rules and will provide instructions on how to set them.

Publication rules are typically used with a "+" suffix to handle events from tasks. For example, a publication rule of "publish:*/chat+" would capture all task chat events and send them to the given folder. Without the "+" suffix, the rule only applies to messages created by the folder itself.

Links are inherited down the folder hierarchy, though child folders can specify that they do not want to inherit a link by using the ** Do not copy link from parent group ** option for the link reference.

These provide further options for more specialist use. They are coded in JSON.

Configuration options are used to control Templates and to customise the Plan view.

Icons

You can use configuration options to set the default icon and/or colour for a group. These only apply when you select the blank option for the icon and colour on the Appearance tab.

Configuration options are for setting defaults. If you want to set a cusom icon for a folder, use the Icons option from Portal settings to specify the custom icon and then apply it on the Appearance tab in the normal way.

For the default icon, you can use one of the following:

• One of the Fontawesome icon classes. Relay uses the duotone versions, so use the format "fad fa-icon-reference". This is the preferred method.
• The reference of a file node containing the icon picture.
• A URL for the icon picture.
• HTML markup.

For the default colour, use an RGB hexadecimal value, as in CSS. That the property is called "color" without a u.

The example below sets the icon to bright green leaves.

{
  "icon": "fad fa-leafy-green",
  "color": "#00FF00"
}

If you do not see the icon or colour, check that the blank option has been set in the Appearance tab.

Turn off menu

To turn off the context menu in the Current folder view, set the "showMenu" property to false.
