You create folders to store new assets. You use folders to organize the business objects in a hierarchical manner. The organization of the assets in a hierarchical manner is the most crucial step in the asset system. You can model the default hierarchy that is created during the installation of Control Compliance Suite, to suit your organizational requirements. Asset hierarchy can also be created based on the location, the department, the platform, or any other criteria.

See Asset folder hierarchy.

You can effectively administer the permissions on the folders and the objects within the folder if the hierarchy is created properly.

See Assigning permissions from the Permission Management view.

You can use reconciliation rules to help you arrange the assets in a specific hierarchical form.
