For categories and phases (Properties tab). If you select this option for the current folder, then all new and existing subfolders and documents within the folder will be modified when the window is saved.
This is unchecked by default. If this option is selected, the upload or download options will apply to all new and existing subfolders (and documents if specified) when the options are saved.
- Send email notification to subscribed users
Select this box if you want the owner to receive an email notification whenever the folder properties are modified. If you select or deselect this box on a folder, the checkbox will update on all subfolders automatically. This option will not override users’ email subscription selections in user preferences.
Users also have to have at least view permissions on the specific folder or document to get the notification.
Lock folder structure for the first level below project or shell Documents: This option appears only for the root project or shell Documents folder. It disallows the addition, modification, or deletion of any first-level folder: folders that are directly under the project or shell Documents node. Subfolders can still be added to the first-level folders. The administrator can unlock the structure to make changes to first-level folders if necessary.
