There are two main Folders in which Tridion work is done:

  1. Building Blocks: Where all website content (in the form of Components) is built and saved.

  2. Root: Where the Pages and Structure Groups are saved and content from the Building Blocks folder is added to them.

The following instructions provide an introduction to the Building Blocks and Root folders in Tridion.

Building Blocks

The Building Blocks folder is where all website content, in the form of components, is built and saved. It houses all of the content which exists on the pages of your site. All content for a publication lives within its associated Building Blocks folder, with the exception of child publications, where content lives in the parent publication's Building Blocks folder.

...

  • For example, components which will be used for pages in the Research section of your site should be saved in a folder titled "Research."

  • Copying the navigation structure of your website will help you find components faster when adding them to pages.

Info

For websites which have a parent publication (labelled with - (1)) all components should be created in the parent publication.

Cardiovascular Medicine is part of the IntMed group in Tridion. If I wanted to build components for Cardiovascular Medicine, I would select Building Blocks, then Content, then Cardiovascular Medicine to ensure that components are built in the right folders. Notice how in the Cardiovascular Medicine folder, the other folders are appropriately named after sections in the site (About Us, Clinical Programs, etc).

  • The file name will determine the name of the folder within the URL. Since the file name will become part of a URL, it can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).
