Create a System Folder

A System Folder (SysFolder) is like any other page in the page tree except that it is designed to only store records and not to display on your website. So, for an example, a SysFolder could store website users or news articles. Any page can be changed to a System Folder and a System Folder can be changed to a page as well. This is done by setting the Page Type. Below are the steps to creating a System Folder. 

1. To create a new SysFolder, begin by clicking on the Page Module.
2. Click on the Page icon where you would like to have your SysFolder located. You can create the new folder either directly below or as a subfolder of the page you select.
3. Click New in the popup menu to add the new page. (Some browsers may display a horizontal menu bar at the top of the TYPO3 screen).
4. If you want to create the SysFolder as a subfolder of a page, click Page (inside). Otherwise, scroll down the page and click Page (after).
5. Next, change the Page Type from Standard to SysFolder.
6. Click Okay when presented with the Warning popup.
7. Give your new SysFolder a Page Title. SysFolders are commonly titled Storage Folders, though you may want to use some other name to differentiate it from other storage folders.
8. Click the Hide Page Checkbox to Un-Hide your new SysFolder.
9. Finally, save your page. Your new SysFolder Page will appear in the Page Tree to the left.
