About folder schemas
Folders can be created with a schema, meaning you can define extra data on your folder besides the folder name.
Usage may be to add a description field, an image or any other data or arrays/structures of data to your folder. This can be used in your publish or document templates.
Create a folder schema
Do this either by using the "Docly Schema" or "Docly Schema (designer)" or other schema that produces a "Form.html" output.

System fields
Field name | Description |
|---|---|
Accept | What may be created in the folder: a list of schema names, separated by commas or new lines. Used only when the folder's data also has Example: |
DefaultContent |

In an Accept list, *Name means a prefilled document, *Name/ a prefilled folder and [Name] a template collection; * alone allows everything. Names that do not match a schema are ignored.
To give every folder that uses the schema the same list, fill in Specify allowed content type (by name) in the schema itself instead. A folder's own Accept list wins over it. Without either, the folder follows its parent folder.
Example of a folder schema with the "Accept" field:
